Linking Health and Education in Early Years
Welcome to Little Drum Children and Family Centre
Little Drum Children and Family Centre is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children and families in Rwanda.
Join us in making a difference today by supporting our mission to optimize early childhood development and integrate education and health services for marginalized communities.
Our Mission
At Little Drum, our mission is to help children get the best start in life. The future is children, but to reach their potential they need the best possible foundation.
We will support families and communities to provide children with the nourishment they need. Physical, emotional and intellectual food that gives them the strong foundation they need to become active and productive citizens.
Our Project
Little Drum is dedicated to building an exemplary foundational education centre in Rwanda.
Founding a school and children's centre, we will use the income generated by the school to fund a children and family hub that integrates education and health services.
Working in partnership with the local government and community, we aim to improve outcomes for children in Rwanda.
