Mouvement pour Christ au Rwanda (MPCR)

Mouvement pour Christ au Rwanda (MPCR) is a faith-based NGO with 15 years of experience in holistic community development, focusing on empowering vulnerable populations through spiritual transformation, environmental restoration, sustainable agriculture, and youth empowerment. The organization has a strong track record in implementing projects that build community capacity, foster partnerships, and promote long-term resilience and well-being. MPCR is recognized for its community engagement and expertise in environmental conservation, with notable achievements in sustainable agriculture and socio-economic resilience initiatives.

The proposed project aims to restore degraded farmland in Rwanda’s Western Province, Rutsiro District, specifically in Boneza Sector, Nkira Cell, Gisiza and Gisoro Villages, by adopting climate-resilient agroforestry systems. The initiative will plant 75,000 trees—including exotic, indigenous, and fruit species—across 250 hectares, integrating them into existing farming systems to enhance biodiversity, food security, and ecosystem health. Activities include community mobilization, nursery establishment, tree planting, and ongoing maintenance, supported by five farmer groups and Community Vigilance Committees. The project also promotes diversified livelihoods through kitchen gardens and savings groups, creates inclusive job opportunities, and builds local capacity in sustainable land management. Continuous monitoring, community-based oversight, and knowledge sharing are embedded to ensure sustainability and integration with local development plans.
