Since its registration in 2013, Healthy People Rwanda has conducted various projects through its three main program the Youth Empowerment Program, Health Promotion Program and Professional Development Program.
From 2013 to 2015, HPR initiated different projects mainly the Abandoned Youth Empowerment project that targeted 42 street children. In addition to providing shelter to these kids, HPR provided sponsorship for vocational training for these kids and one-on-one mentorship to the children.
In 2014-2015, HPR led the Action-2015 campaign that aimed at collecting inputs from local youth and community organizations to inform the development of the Sustainable Development Goals. This project was implemented in collaboration with the Rwanda Governance Board and involved youth and local cooperatives leaders from all 30 Districts of the country.
From 2014 to present, under the funding of the Danish Youth Council through the International Medical Cooperation Committee, HPR has conducted a needs assessment of the road safety and first aid that led to the first ever training curriculum of this kind in Rwanda. Based on the findings of the assessment, HPR is currently piloting this curriculum in three Districts of Kigali mainly with driving and high schools and is generating evidence for policy advocacy with the aim to translate this into nationwide road safety interventions.
HPR has grown quickly and attracts mostly young Rwandan graduates from different fields of studies, who, in addition to their own carriers, want to spend some of their time to promote the welfare of the Rwandan community.
