What We Do

university
education

Education reduces poverty, yet only 5% of Sub-Saharan Africans attend university. We provide access to a university education in Rwanda for talented scholars from challenging backgrounds. We also know many of the critical issues in Africa today are leadership issues. These Numbers Have Faces provides our scholars with tools to develop their leadership skills. Our scholars go on to become the next generation of leaders in East Africa, fully committed to being transformational change-makers in their communities and countries.

Our work focuses on three aspects:

Our work focuses on three aspects:  

Educate

We identify bright students from poor, rural, and post-conflict communities who would otherwise not have opportunity to attend university. We provide access to a university education, covering the cost of tuition, registration fees, and books, as well as room and board, to top universities in Rwanda. 

 

Equip

Through our monthly Leadership Development Workshops, our students develop into strategic, ethical, and compassionate leaders committed to making a transformational difference in their communities. 

Empower

Each academic year, our scholars plan and implement their Community Impact Projects. Our scholars identify a real life need and apply the academic and leadership skills they’ve learned to address these needs, creating lasting change within their communities.
