Jado Village Foundation Receives Official Charter from the Government of Rwanda

A Major Milestone for the Foundation

On March 10, 2026, the Jado Village Foundation officially received its charter from the Government of Rwanda. This recognition formally establishes the foundation as a registered charitable organization within the country and represents an important step forward in our mission to support children through education.

The charter confirms our legal status and affirms the foundation’s purpose: to remove financial barriers to education and create opportunities for children in underserved communities.

Why This Matters

Receiving our official charter is more than a symbolic achievement—it enables us to operate with full legal recognition in Rwanda. This allows us to:

Open and maintain official bank accounts in the country
Work directly with schools and local authorities
Increase transparency and accountability for donors
Expand our programs with stronger institutional support

This milestone strengthens our ability to serve the children and communities we work with and ensures that our operations meet national regulatory standards.

Opening a Bank Account with the Bank of Kigali

With the charter now approved, the foundation can proceed with opening an organizational bank account at the Bank of Kigali. This will significantly improve how we manage donations and distribute funds for school fees, supplies, and educational programs.

Bank of Kigali account: (Bk) 100255001676 (registered under Jado Village Foundation)

Having a local bank account allows us to:

Reduce international transfer costs
Speed up payments to schools and service providers
Provide clearer financial reporting and documentation

These improvements will make every donation more efficient and impactful.
