Foundation Rwanda is within reach of achieving our mission.

As we mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide, we are launching Bike Build 2014 knowing that the Foundation Rwanda families are at a critical turning point. Our students are poised to graduate from secondary school and fulfill their mothers' greatest wish for them -- the very wish for education that brought Foundation Rwanda into existence.

This year, we’re mobilizing to fulfil our commitment to support the education of all 735 students currently enrolled in our program through graduation. We are asking for your help as an early Foundation Rwanda supporter to join the effort to ensure that our final class of students will graduate in 2019 and that we will be able to complete our mission to ensure that each of our students graduate secondary school or access vocational training with dignity.

Bike Build 2014 provides education for one year (including books, supplies, uniform, shoes, fees etc) and a bicycle for each recipient to get to and from school. The bicycles are also a way to connect families to food, healthcare, clean water, other family members and friends in the most efficient and cost effective way imaginable. The top 12 earners for Bike Build 2014 will win a trip to Rwanda to help build bikes with Foundation Rwanda families which will culminate in a group bike ride led by the National Rwandan Cycling Team (if they are in Rwanda at the time of the trip) through the town of Rwamagana.
