Urugo Care Rwanda provides scholarships for school (Primary and Secondary/Vocational school) in Rwanda and health insurance for the entire household of these students. We believe in a holistic approach to our scholarships, where most of the needs are met for our students while they are in school. That’s why we are offering more than just paying for the tuition. Each child we accept into the program is guaranteed a one-year scholarship for school, with the hope of continuing the scholarship through the entirety of school.

Full scholarship for 1 year includes:

  • School fees

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF THESE ITEMS:

  • School fees: Provides the necessary funds for school fees.

  • School materials: Items include a backpack, notebooks, pens, math set, and other required learning tools

  • Health insurance: Often families cannot afford to buy health insurance and the children go without it.
