The community of Kahi has graduated
In 2023, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!
Program Details
The Kahi community is located in a rural area of northeastern Rwanda, 140 kilometres from Kigali, the nation's capital. The land is made up of flat plains with gentle sloping hills, along with a large swamp.
Agriculture and livestock keeping are the main sources of income. The weather is generally hot and dry, with long hours of sunshine. In good years, it rains from March to May and again from October through December. However, recent years have brought more dry months than expected, causing prolonged water shortages that affect crop production.

Building sustainable futures together
World Vision child sponsorship starts with understanding what is preventing children from surviving and thriving in their community. We then work with the community to bring the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children.
