Planting Hope in the Hearts of Rwanda
Hope for a Thousand Hills is a non-profit initiative focused on the restoration of the Cyimbili Coffee Plantation in western Rwanda. The project aims to rehabilitate a once productive plantation, and through it rebuild the local economy. The transformation will carry over into necessary community development projects which include: providing clean water, sanitary systems and electrical power generation to meet the urgent needs of a people, and to bring healing and hope to those who long for reconciliation with their neighbor... and their Creator.
Budgetary Needs/Status
The 4-year restoration program at Cyimbili, Rwanda is funded entirely by donations from community groups, businesses, churches and individuals across the United States and globe.
To complete the entire phased restoration of the plantation, just $1.2 million is needed. These funds will be used to build the infrastructure at Cyimbili, to restore the local school, and to build the coffee business and health clinic. Once completed, these programs will ensure that the plantation will be self-sustainable and will continue to grow and flourish without further financial support.
By donating to the important work of Hope for a Thousand Hills, you are not just funding the immediate needs of Cyimbili, you are helping us build a lasting foundation that will impact the lives and future generations of children, men, and women that call Cyimbili home.
