RWCE is a non-profit organization with a mission to preserve Rwanda’s diverse species and environment for future generations through raising awareness and educating about conservation. The organization seeks to inspire people to take accountability and action to conserve and protect Rwanda’s animals and their natural habitat.
With rapid population growth and severe shortages of basic resources such as water and electricity, Rwanda’s environment is vulnerable. The time to act is now.
In recent months we have worked with the Rwandan government and the local teams on a strategic plan to develop our mission and vision.
The Five Pillars of the Program:
- Creating educational experiences and programs for children in the local community and all of Rwanda that emphasizes the importance of wildlife and its preservation
- Eliminating children’s fear from wildlife
- Train the next generation of wildlife care givers
- Overseas volunteers teaching in community day school
- Students exchange programs
- Educating on wildlife protection rules and regulations
