Restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity in Rwanda

At Good News for Peace and Development – Rwanda (GNPDR), we believe that lasting transformation occurs when people experience healing in every dimension of life—spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, socially, and economically.

Through faith-informed and community-centered programs, GNPDR works with individuals and families who are often overlooked: prisoners, genocide survivors, widows, street-connected children, and communities struggling with trauma and poverty.

Inspired by Rwanda’s journey of healing after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, our programs help individuals rebuild their lives while strengthening peace and social cohesion in communities across the country.

Our goal is to help poor people become volunteer

Restoring hope in correctional facilities

Through prison rehabilitation and crime prevention programs, incarcerated individuals receive counseling, literacy training, Bible engagement, and life-skills development.

These initiatives have helped many inmates rediscover purpose, develop positive values, and prepare for responsible reintegration into society.
