• Gifts may be delivered to your sponsored student’s family while they’re at school. In this case, the “thank you” photo we send to you will be of the student’s relative with the gift. Boarding students may enjoy nonperishable gift items once they return home during their next school break. If you would like to place an order in hopes that it would be delivered while the student is at home on break, you can strategically do so in November, March, and July. However, we cannot guarantee the gift(s) will be delivered when the student is home.

Don’t be! Many items—like mattresses or clothing—naturally wear out over time, so extras are not a problem. Also bear in mind that the culture of giving, receiving, and sharing is different in Rwanda than in the United States, and it’s likely that gifts will be joyfully shared with relatives or neighbors.

Gifts are always welcomed for students who are not sponsored or whose sponsors are unable to order gifts. Food is a great gift for a student in need; the other items recommended above are also excellent choices. Simply select an item in our Online Store and click the box next to “Any Student in Need” to make sure it goes to an appropriate student; our Rwandan colleagues will do the rest!

Many of the families in our program face the challenges of material poverty daily. Practical gifts like food and household necessities are essential and allow parents to allocate additional resources where they’re most needed. Your thoughtful generosity provides culturally sensitive and deeply meaningful support.

Gift distribution typically occurs within four weeks of placing an order. Within 12 weeks, we will electronically send you a photo of your sponsored student with the gift. For students attending boarding schools or those unable to pick up the gift in person, gifts may be delivered to their families, in which case the photo may show a relative with the gift. Boarding students may enjoy non-perishable gift items once they return home during their next school break.
