An Evening of Artistry & Impact

  • The Open Door 303 West Hood Avenue Sisters, OR, 97759 United States (map)

Children in Rwogo once ate dirt from hunger. Today, 105 children, one

from each family supported by Rwanda Future Builders, are in school and

the whole village is starting to change.

With no computers, libraries, or internet, Rwogo has been cut off from

opportunity. The Community Centre will bring access to learning,

connection, and digital tools.

Alongside technology, hands-on programs like weaving and tailoring

will equip women to build livelihoods. Here, skills become businesses,

children gain knowledge once out of reach, and the entire village grows

stronger, empowered.
