A Center for Lasting Community Transformation

Where children, families, and communities thrive together.

The LIFE Centre is a beacon of hope rising in Gicumbi, established by Life Link Rwanda in partnership with Mission 24 / Valley Life Trust from the United Kingdom, to serve vulnerable families in Byumba and beyond.


It will soon host Icyizere Academy, our preschool, along with a growing range of programs—including education, mentorship, life skills, spiritual formation, and sustainable farming initiatives—that equip children and families while addressing the root causes of poverty and restoring dignity.


More than a building, it is a place where futures are rewritten—where children are equipped to learn and lead, families are strengthened, and communities are transformed from within.

Your partnership makes this possible—creating a space where hope grows, lives are restored, and lasting change begins.

Theory of change

1. Build

Strong foundations through education, care, discipleship, and leadership development at the LIFE Centre.


From dependency

Communities move away from aid reliance toward self-determined futures.

2. Sustain

Impact is maintained through empowered families, trained educators, and locally owned systems.


Toward dignity

Every family is created for opportunity—not as charity, but as a God-given promise to live out.

3. Replicate

The model expands outward, ensuring transformation is not limited to one community but multiplies through local leadership.


Long-term resilience

Systems built to last beyond any single program, leader, or generation.
