Aid  (http://www.rwanda-aid.org/) is a charity based in Cyangugu in the South-West of . Having established Ngwino Nawe, a village for disabled and orphaned children, Rwanda Aid is looking to build a half-way house to create the opportunity for the young adults to graduate from the village and become part of the community.  The aim is for them to have the dual benefits of employment and a secure environment.

The Peace Marathon (The half-marathon) covers many of 's famous 'One-thousand Hills' and is run on May 23rd. It provides a fantastic opportunity to raise money for this 'half-way house' project. For the first time, many of the permanent members of the Rwanda Aid team are getting involved in fund raising and entering the Peace Marathon:

Prince is the charismatic and charming Rwanda Aid Country Manager, Gad the enthusiastic and cheerful Farming Manager and Jonas the multi-talented Rwanda Aid Welfare Manager. 

Other Aid supporters running the Peace for the half-way house project include Amy, Andrew, Will, Anokhee and Kath. Amy is a VSO volunteer who has been based in since September 2008. Andrew has been a Aid volunteer since February 2010, Kath has been a Aid volunteer since April 2010 and they have both been involved in the work that is done at Ngwino Nawe and many other projects.  Anokhee is a member of the design team for the new progressive houses for families who lost their homes in the 2008 earthquake, (http://sites.google.com/site/nkombohousingproject/home) and Will is Manager working here from May to August 2010.
