Good News for Peace and Development – Rwanda (GNPDR) is a faith-based organization committed to restoring hope and dignity, promoting social justice, and strengthening vulnerable communities across Rwanda. We envision a country of hope where basic human rights are respected and peace upheld. Rooted in Christian values of repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and service, GNPDR exists to alleviate human suffering and enhance social justice for marginalized people by providing renewed hope to the hopeless and a voice to the voiceless.

GNPDR was established in response to the social, psychological, and economic challenges that followed the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. In the aftermath of mass trauma, incarceration, family disintegration, and widespread poverty, there was an urgent need for faith-driven, community-based interventions that would promote healing, justice, and sustainable peace and development. Over the years, GNPDR has grown into a trusted local organization working alongside churches, community leaders, correctional facilities, schools, healthcare providers, and international partners to restore lives and rebuild secure and resilient communities.
GNPDR is led by the Board of Directors as a decision-making and governance body, which provides strategic orientation of the organization and provide accountability to the executive staff. The board is assisted by the Executive team headed by the Executive Director, who manages the organization on a day-to-day basis. In addition, GNPDR has project coordinators, and support staff who actively participate in the implementation of the projects.
