Physiotherapy: ASFA Physiotherapy Centre is now operating from the new building and awaiting the arrival of specialist equipment from the UK before scaling to capacity. The final item on our wish list is solar panels to provide hot water. If you would like to read more about this project or perhaps make a donation, please kindly click here.

Education: GS Rusuzumiro School’s computers arrived in early March 2021 and the ICT classrooms are now in full swing! Please click here for a short film about The SmartClasssroom Project.
COVID_19: Our projects have been severely impacted by the pandemic – from the suspension of construction for seven weeks, increase in building materials, extra staff travel and accommodation costs and PPE equipment at ASFA Physio. Impact on future school projects has been felt too from the increase in building costs and an understandably reduced fundraising capacity here in the UK. We are all volunteers and here for the long term. Every penny we raise goes directly towards our projects so please, now more than ever, consider being part of our work – together we really can Make a Difference.
Thank you and as our motto goes…“if you think your too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!”
