Working with Lifeline Energy in Rwanda

We have just arrived in Rwanda and are here to meet with our local partners and to conduct trainings and distributions of Freeplay Lifeline radios. Over two weeks we’ll be, working with groups as small as 20 and as big as 200 to assist in the distribution of 2,000 radios. The size of our partners is quite varied as well – from well-known organisations such as Care International, to small Rwandan organisations run by one person and a few volunteers. Since Kinyarwanda only is spoken by 85% of the population, we need interpreters. We’ll be travelling to rural areas outside of Kigali, as well as up to Musanze in the north. The training sessions are a chance for us to meet vulnerable women, children and families who are the recipients of new radios and we will spend time speaking with them and listening to their stories – many of which will be shared here on our website.
