2020 Trips Now Open for Registration
Let's Be Honest...
Short term mission trips get a bad reputation and for good reason. It's detrimental to a community when foreigners build a home, paint a wall or provide other services that could be performed by someone already living there. As brothers and sisters to our Rwandans, we desire to build the economy in Rwanda-whether it's hiring a team to paint or using a local printer for t-shirts.
So what DO our volunteer teams do anyway?
We provide a service or skill that's not yet available to our students or staff.
We build relationships with our students.
We bring FUN. It may sound trivial, but life in a developing place is often mundane or only about survival.
We tell their stories. When people like you GO, you experience firsthand the people of Imana Kids. And that changes everything.
If this is a new concept for you, we encourage you to read When Helping Hurts or Toxic Charity
