This January from 08th to 18th 2024, CARSA efficaciously hosted 3 staff from Compelled By Love (CBL), an Australian-based organization. The journey aimed at strengthening the existing partnership and learning more about the impact made from this long-run partnership.

In Rwanda, a country that has experienced immense trauma following the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, CARSA’s Empower Program became a stellar space to provide a conducive environment for survivors and perpetrators to walk together in wound debridement, enhanced social cohesion, and social-economy development to build their common better future.

Through the generous partnership of CARSA and Compelled By Love (CBL), CARSA erected modern shelters for vulnerable families from Mugina Sector of Kamonyi district. The families were identified by the local authorities and proposed to CARSA due to its dire need for healthy and decent housing.

To create a better world for these children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are unable to afford the necessities of their education, CARSA, through a partnership with Compelled By Love (CBL), an Australian-based organization, initiated the Education Partnership program.

CARSA aims to build a society that understands the consequences of genocide by focusing on preventing man's inhumanity to man. We believe that peace education and teaching young people how to prevent Genocide and mass atrocities is crucial in making a brighter future.

Christian Action for Reconciliation and Social Assistance (CARSA) was created in 2004 and is registered as Local NGO which aims to support communities in Rwanda in their journey towards healing, forgiveness, reconciliation and holistic development.
