Funding Emergency
AEE Rwanda is funded by a variety of donors, from individuals and philanthropic organisations to government agencies. Each plays a vital role in delivering grassroots services to families, youth, and children confronting economic, physical, and social poverty.
One of our key partners is USAID. Following the recent change of government in the US, USAID partner is pausing all funding and stopping all activities for 90 days while they reassess their priorities and objectives. This has created immense strain on those who rely on AEE Rwanda’s support and services and for the AEE Rwanda organisation. We are working with USAID to clarify our position and future with them.
