Mission

The 9 Mile Project is a 501(c)(3) organization which fundraises and donates money to support boarding school education for high school students living in rural Rwanda. The boarding schools are federally funded, however, their tuition fees are $120 per semester, which are unaffordable for many families living in rural Rwanda. The 9 Mile Project chooses qualifying students to financially support throughout their high school education to ensure they are able to pay the $120 tuition bill each semester. The common alternative for these students is either to not attend high school or walk up to 9 miles a day to attend regional high schools which do not have running water, proper school materials, consistent electricity, or food. However, the federal boarding schools provide three meals a day, running water, electricity, formal housing, technology, and a high quality education. These students are driven to get a higher education and deserve our help in doing so.

About

In the lush landscapes of rural Rwanda, where challenges often outnumber opportunities, a group of resilient young minds aspire to transcend their circumstances and carve a destiny free from the confines of limited resources. Our mission revolves around empowering these secondary school students by providing them with the means to access quality education and board in a safe and conducive environment. We understand that the path to personal development is not only paved with knowledge but also with the vital nourishment of a stable and supportive educational setting. By facilitating access to boarding schools, we endeavor to create an environment where these ambitious students can flourish intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Through this initiative, we aim not only to alleviate the immediate financial burdens that may impede their progress but also to ignite a sense of purpose and responsibility within them. Central to our philosophy is the notion of self-authorship – the belief that individuals possess the innate capacity to shape their destinies through conscientious effort and guided transformation. Our efforts in Rwanda align harmoniously with this principle, as we strive to empower these youths not as mere beneficiaries, but as active participants in their journey toward self-discovery and societal contribution. With humility and gratitude, we invite you to join us in this endeavor. Your support, whether through financial contributions or shared advocacy, represents an investment in the future not only of these remarkable Rwandan students but also in the global narrative of progress against adversity. By championing education, personal responsibility, and the boundless potential of every individual, we embody the very ideals that underpin the advancement of human society. Let us, as a collective force for positive change, extend our reach beyond borders, beyond the confines of our immediate surroundings, and unite in the name of empowerment, growth, and the unwavering belief in the potential of the human spirit. Together, we can forge a legacy of transformation, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of these students and generations to come.
