OPDE Rwanda works in the street to identify the children it aims to help, accompanies them through the process of socio-educational reintegration, and favours their return to family — whether close or extended.
Since the organisation was founded, more than 1,400 children and young adults have been supported and reintegrated into the school system at primary, secondary, university and vocational level. Family reintegration remains our central mission.
As part of prevention, OPDE has built and rehabilitated more than 50 homes for host families. We also encourage the parents of these families to form cooperatives and take up income-generating activities, so that self-reliance lasts.
