Empower a family in Rwanda with cash transfers

The Life You Can Save is partnering with GiveDirectly to deliver your matched donations directly to participating families in the Nyanza district in Rwanda. And, thanks to Humanitix’s match to this campaign, we will be able to help twice as many families - up to 386 in total.

Each family will receive ~A$1,668 through GiveDirectly’s cash transfer programme, empowering them to address their most pressing needs and invest in their futures: building a new house, starting a new business, paying school fees, and more.

Your donation will have a lasting impact for Rwandan families in need

39% of Rwandans live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $3/day. 1 in 3 children are malnourished. Preliminary research from GiveDirectly’s current programme in Rwanda has shown that your donation will help families move towards more sustainable livelihoods:

  • Health

    Food security:

    families eating two or more meals a day rose from 27% to 74%

  • Livelihood

    Steady work:

    full-time employment rose from 17% to 58%

  • Education

    Healthcare:

    95% of recipients who needed care could get it, up from 79%

  • Education

    Education:

    School attendance rose to 81%

Your donation will help people like Priscilla in Rwanda transform their own lives

“I dropped out of school when I was just 16. I dreamed of having a stable home and raising a happy family but providing for my children has never been easy. I was raising my two children on my own but I chose to keep fighting for them.”
  • Priscilla put ~A$106 into her small business, growing it from avocados and bread to beans, bananas and other goods. With the rest, ~A$1,546, she bought a small plot of land with an old house.

“I plan to renovate the house so my children and I can finally have a home of our own. My business is growing well. I can now provide for my children’s daily needs, pay rent more easily, and even save about A$3 each week. Nothing makes me happier than seeing them healthy and cared for, and knowing that my hard work is helping us build a better life together.”

Last year, our campaign raised A$95,130 (A$47,550 in donations + A$47,550 matching funds). With this, we were able to fund transfers for roughly 55 families.

Thank you for your support and trust of people in poverty. Help us reach more families in need and double your impact today.
