Who we are

A Rwandan NGO working for people's wellbeing

Rwanda Wellness Organization (RWO) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded by ten community members in Nyamasheke District. We support the Government of Rwanda's efforts, in line with national strategies such as NST1 and Vision 2050, to solve the problems that hold families back: children repeating classes or dropping out, malnutrition and stunting, teenage and unplanned pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence and family conflict.

We are based in Nyamasheke and work across Rwanda. As resources allow, we will extend our work to other districts and countries.
