There are many ways in which you can help us support our students. Whether you choose to contribute financially, volunteer your time, or help us to spread the word about our work, your support is greatly appreciated.

Donate

Your generous financial support is what enables us to provide scholarships for our students. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by existing U.S. law. Just $100 is enough to provide a year’s worth of school books to an ORI student; $3,000 will cover the costs of one scholarship for a year (including university tuition, housing, healthcare, school supplies, and language training).

Spread the Word

If you’re excited about what we’re doing and want to help spread the word, please tell your family members, friends and colleagues about us. With the latest social networking technologies and websites, it’s never been easier! See how you can add an Orphans of Rwanda badge from GlobalGiving to your Facebook page or blog, set up a personal fundraising goal with Change.org and more!

Help With Fundraising

Join the numerous high school and college clubs, religious groups, and individuals who stage events to raise funds for ORI. We are very grateful for the group support and it’s a great team and community-building experience! For more information, contact donate@orphansofrwanda.org.

Volunteer

ORI depends heavily on volunteers, both in the U.S. and in Rwanda. Learn more about opportunities for volunteering.

Whenever You Shop On Line

Even your online shopping can help Orphans of Rwanda! More than 500 well-known stores and websites will donate a small percentage of your purchase price to any designated charity through the website GoodShop. (Amazon, ebay, expedia, and staples, and many other businesses are participants). To help ORI, simply head to GoodShop and select Orphans of Rwanda from the drop down list as your cause, before shopping (and bookmark it for future shopping!), rather than connecting directly to the store’s website.
