One Help One Direction Ihumure is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization in Rwanda. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to grow, contribute, and build a meaningful future.
One Help One Direction Ihumure is a non-governmental organization dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable youth in Rwanda, particularly those who have experienced life on the streets of Kigali.
Many of these young people carry emotional and psychological scars from trauma and hardship. Through a trauma-informed approach, we provide a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.
We empower young people, especially those from marginalized communities, including women and other underserved groups, through vocational training, practical support, and green skills. These practical skills support economic independence and environmental sustainability.
Our initiatives equip youth to build better futures through employment, entrepreneurship, and active participation in their communities. Together, we can create lasting change and a sustainable future for all.
To empower vulnerable youth and underserved communities through vocational training, green skills, community connection, and a supportive, trauma-informed approach.
A world where every young person, regardless of their past circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and grow into a fulfilled and empowered individual, while fostering respect for environmental conservation and ensuring access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene for all.
Our community initiatives have received institutional recognition, grant support, and collaborative contributions from organizations committed to positive social impact.
