Food for the Hungry Rwanda began its operations in 1994 in response to devastation and hunger caused by the genocide against the Tutsis. In 2000, Food for the Hungry Rwanda adopted a development programming approach aimed at supporting reconstruction, poverty reduction, and sustainable development in the most remote communities of Rwanda. Food for the Hungry Rwanda has strategically strengthened partnerships with local organizations and co-implemented initiatives with existing community-based groups, such as community health workers, children’s committees, church leaders, and local leaders.
