Les Enfants de Dieu is a non-profit organisation established to assist street children in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. Although the organisation is secular, the word “God” (Dieu) was included to symbolise the protective and compassionate qualities of all spiritual movements.
Its mission is to transform the lives of street children; alleviating their hardships and providing them with the opportunities to mature into valued individuals.
Also Catalyst Rwanda has been set up there to organise ethical programmes of arts activities for vulnerable young people – including orphans of the genocide and AIDS, and former street children – and to organise artistic development programmes and exchanges with young emerging Rwandan artists.
