Our beautiful nation Rwanda was gravely damaged in the Genocide and war of 1994. An estimated one million people were killed within one hundred days. The world's largest movement - an estimated two million people - walked away from their homes into neighboring countries.

Since the attainment of her independence, the Rwandan youth had been manipulated by the myopic politicians of the day and gotten involved in political propaganda based on ethnicity, race, clan and regionalism.

Never Again has risen to meet the challenges faced by Rwanda and the world in the wake of the atrocities. We the youth stand firmly united under the commitment "Never Again".

Working with the Lutheran Church of Rwanda, the Rwanda School Project will start a Junior-Senior High School in eastern Rwanda in 2007 with a curriculum that focuses on sustainability. With a total size of about 400 students, the school will use Expeditionary Learning as its pedagogical foundation and classes will be in English.
The school will be open to students of any ethnic group, nationality, religion or social class and will make efforts to recruit a diverse student population.
Our Mission Statement: Rwanda has been deeply challenged by war, genocide and poverty. We believe that secondary and continuing education is an important key to Rwanda's recovery, growth and continuing peace.

The training of doctors in Rwanda consists of a six-year program combining undergraduate university and premedical studies with basic medical school courses. While it is commonly acknowledged that newly minted physicians require additional clinical training, because of the loss of physician trainers through emigration and genocide, there is a shortage of teachers to provide mentorship and experienced clinical oversight.

The Rwanda Clinical Faculty Teaching Project intends to promote the exchange of experienced physicians, physician educators, and other skilled health personnel to Rwanda. Teaching will occur at the Kibagabaga hospital, a 180-bed community hospital in Kigali. The 8,500-square-meter, $3.5 million facility opened in 2006 with facilities for internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery and OB-GYN. This is an ideal setting to teach the additional skills needed by Rwanda’s physicians.

Rwanda depends on imports of petroleum products to fuel much of its energy needs. As development increases, there is a need for cheap, renewable, locally produced fuel. Recently species of the African oil palm have been hybridized for the higher elevations and cooler temperatures of East Africa and have shown considerable promise as a feedstock for biofuel production. Moreover, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has produced a very comprehensive oil palm field manual based on twenty years of experience with the oil palm in the highlands of Ethiopia, Cameroon, Malawi, Zambia and Kenya. This pilot project will grow the first oil palms in Rwanda and then convert the fruits to biodiesel using established processes.
