International (AAI) – an anti-poverty agency working with poor, voiceless
people, communities and similar-minded partners worldwide.  ActionAid is a
non-partisan, non-religious development organisation that

has been working in
Rwanda as a full Country Programme since 1997 to contribute towards eradication
of poverty and injustices with a focus on tackling the root causes of poverty.
The organisation is primarily concerned with the promotion and defence of

remain central to our work.  ActionAid International Rwanda is currently
