Supporting the Development of Education in Rwanda.

In alignment with the Ministry of Education’s plans and priorities as outlined in the Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP), ITF Rwanda is committed to enhancing educational outcomes across the country. As a branch of the International Transformation Foundation (ITF), ITF Rwanda is dedicated to improving the lives of local communities by providing sustainable access to clean and safe tap water. Registered as an International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO) in March 2018, following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education in December 2017, ITF Rwanda aims to replicate ITF’s impact-driven social innovation, “A Water Kiosk at School,” which ensures that school children no longer have to miss school to secure water for their families, addressing the risk of millions of children dropping out due to lack of access to clean and affordable tap water systems. Additionally, it imparts basic business management skills, provides reliable and affordable clean tap water to communities, thereby promoting both life improvement and environmental conservation.

Our Projects

Water Kiosk at Schools

The Water Kiosk at School is a (primary) school-based and students-managed business selling clean tap water to community residents at an affordable price. It consists of financing a community school to set up
onsite water kiosk with sustainable products for the students to
transport tap water from school to their homes. It is both an educational and profitable business teaching the students business and entrepreneurial skills, and generating much-needed income for schools.

Reusable Water Bottle Distribution

We provide high-quality, reusable water bottles for the children, ensuring they stay hydrated throughout the day. Our bottles are made from durable, BPA-free plastic, promoting safety and health. By encouraging the use of reusable bottles, we aim to instill environmentally friendly habits in our children while also reducing plastic waste.

Impact

A water kiosk at school is characterized by the following environment-friendly products developed in partnership with Join the Pipe Foundation:

Water-saving tap station that is vandal-resistant
Drip taps for handwashing facilities
Water bottles
Jerry carry karts which reduce the physical injury from constant lifting and carrying heavy water on heads of the children.

Community Beneficiaries

Access to clean water has significantly improved the residents livelihoods since they no longer have to walk for long distances in search of water to sustain their families

Projects

Our water kiosks are located in Muhanga District;

Kagahina
Rutarabana
Munini
Rubugurizo

Student Beneficiaries

The water kiosk has led to increased school attendance as children no longer need to be absent from school to secure
water for their families. The water kiosk also helps students raise income for other school related initiatives.
