1."Education - Education - Education..." 2. Education today EQUALS £0.00 Aid tomorrow! 3. NO Bureaucracy & NO salaries! 4. spending ALL donations on the ground, except money transfer fee!!! 5. Transparency to Donors and Recipients 6.Participatory Approach. 7. Statistical progress feedbacks...! 8. Exposing really enfeebling needs in a less pitiful way...! 9.No slightest assumption of solving the needs of the poor...! Instead, enabling the poor, through universal education, to DOING that THEMSELVES!

Considering that only:

34% of Rwanda's primary school kids complete a full course of primary*;

6-8% of Rwanda's kids make it to secondary school*;

3% of the population of tertiary age go to university*;

 

All P6 kids (last year of primary school) take a national test to compete for those precious but elusive secondary school places; and since the very poor kids (such as the boy on the left hand side of the photograph below) can't afford school stationery, reading books or food, they are almost automatically excluded;

 

*Data from Unesco

Through it’s “Education Today for Zero Aid Tomorrow” credo, RSVP provides:

 

· School Meals (currently at just £0.28 per meal per kid)

 

· School Books (currently at just £3.00 per book)

 

· Other educational support to village schools

 

The charity has started by supporting Mihabura primary school, a Pentecostal owned primary school, located in Bugarama in southern Rwanda. RSVP will run evidence based follow ups such that children’s height/weight, regional and national exam results, absenteeism and drop out rates are regularly monitored.

Since the introduction of these measures the absenteeism rates have dropped from 8% to less than 1%. The National Test pass rate increased by 3%.

 

The above outcomes are expected to improve further over time. This also applies to the primary school completion rates as well as the proportion of young people with basic HIV facts and numeracy/literacy skills.
