Rescue the Poor Child aims to rescue marginalised children who have missed the opportunity to fulfil their basic needs because of their communities’ extreme poverty; by tracking children centred data on areas such as education, healthcare, livelihood and implementing poverty alleviation and children’s right centred projects for poor rural communities of Africa.
Rescue the Poor Child (R.P.C) is an international, Non-Governmental Organization based in Sweden initially founded by the enthusiastic Mr Akim Ishimwe to attain his envisaged goal of alleviating poverty and supporting the poorest children around the world, particularly in sub-Sahara rural arears of Africa. RPC was granted by the United Nations the Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2019. RPC is actively working for improving and up lifting the rural communities’ quality of lives by developing a support mechanism that meets community’s needs. RPC is aware of the tremendous effort made by national governments and the international community to help children around the world escaping the poverty trap. Nevertheless, major cities in sub-Saharan Africa are full of homeless street children, sometimes causing insecurity, many children in developing countries still engage in premature marriages and armed rebellions, leaving schools at early age because of their communities’ extreme poverty. RPC has taken the challenge to playing proactive role in initiating the supplementing efforts to eradicate poverty of poorest and marginalized section of society, by providing adequate education, healthcare and increasing livelihood options.
