About Rukundo International

Founded in January 2014, Rukundo International (RI) is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) in Uganda, and registered 501(c)3 with an all-volunteer staff in the United States. Rukundo works as a partner and advocate for Kyanamira, a small rural community in the Kabale District of Southwest Uganda. We focus primarily on women and children to help ensure the community will have the necessary resources to reach their full potential. Our projects are developed collaboratively with local government officials, community leaders, and the people of Kyanamira, considering sustainably as a critical element. Rukundo Preparatory School is the flagship program of Rukundo International. Our school provides primary education to over 250 children. Besides the school, Rukundo also runs five other programs in the community: Women’s Agricultural Co-op, Girls Empowerment Program, Scholarships, Amaani Gabato Kid's Sunday, and Community Center offering health initiatives. RI assists orphans, financially distressed families, and at-risk youth to impact the needs of those living in extreme poverty, by giving them opportunities to succeed in school and life.
