About Born to Learn: Born to Learn (BTL) is an association founded with the aim of developing and empowering vulnerable communities in Tanzania. The NGO was founded on the belief that education is a basic human right, no matter where and into which circumstances they are born. Their focus lies on educational inclusion for all children in need, so that they have access to quality education that responds to the unique needs of the communities they operate in.

Born to Learn

About Children of Rwanda: In western Rwanda, thousands of children are unable to attend school as their families can't afford the cost of schooling. Children of Rwanda is a registered NGO that enables children to return to class and benefit from their universal right to an education in a sustainable way. They do so by working with the parents of these children to increase their household income enough to cover the costs of schooling and without having to rely on external help.
