About Rwanda School Project

Rwanda School Project (RSP) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 20-3545455) headquartered in Santa Rosa, CA that supports and operates the Rwamagana Leaders’ School in Rwamagana, Rwanda. The organization builds and sustains campus facilities, funds tuition sponsorships, and partners with local Rwandan leadership to deliver a boarding secondary school program grounded in experiential learning, environmental stewardship, and character development. RSP reports recent, measurable growth: the school welcomed 241 students in the 2023–2024 academic year (107 girls, 134 boys), with roughly 88% of students living on campus, and continues to run graduation cohorts and campus improvements. The organization maintains regular donor communications (quarterly newsletters and annual reports), a multi-year master plan for campus development, and an active fundraising program from its Santa Rosa base. Financially, RSP files Form 990s and shows multi-year operating activity; it uses donor funds primarily for program and construction support for the Rwamagana Leaders’ School while working with local Rwandan partners, faith organizations and service groups to deliver and maintain school services.
