Rwanda Development Trust (http://www.charitynet.org/~rwanda-dt/)
"The RDT was set up in 1994 .... Although considerable aid was being given to Rwandese refugees in Goma (Congo DR) and other places outside Rwanda during 1994, not much at all was being done to help the 5 million or so who remained inside their country ...The Trusts assists projects which are considered to be of lasting benefit to Rwandese communities. It never initiates projects itself but relies upon local Rwandese planning and participation. Its main aim is to support self-help activities which can overcome problems caused by ethnic tension, poverty and the resulting instability. The financial assistance given by the Trust ranges from the purchasing of necessary medical equipment for use in hospitals through to sponsoring development schemes such as income generating projects which have been carefully planned by the intended beneficiaries themselves."
