Welcome to Prison Fellowship Rwanda!
Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR) is a faith-based non-profit organization that seeks to be a national movement of reconciliation, restoration, and rehabilitation for all those involved in and affected by crime. PFR works to promote restorative justice in the criminal justice system and in surrounding communities, and especially among those affected by the 1994 Rwandan genocide. PFR also assists the most vulnerable in society by seeking ways to provide for basic needs of individuals through local development initiatives and to further prevent criminalization in at-risk communities. PFR is a member of Prison Fellowship International, the world’s largest and most expansive association of Christian ministries working within the criminal justice field.
About Prison Fellowship Rwanda
Prison Fellowship Rwanda’s work in the prisons began in 1995 in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide of 1994, when over a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in the span of 100 days. PFR was first recognized as a registered non-profit organization by the government of Rwanda in 2001 and in 2002 PFR became a member of Prison Fellowship International. Since then PFR’s work has expanded beyond the prisons and into communities, working to instill practical reconciliation among all Rwandan people directly or indirectly affected by the genocide and other crimes through economic development and spiritual healing to create communities of restoration.
prison gospel teachings are carried out within all 14 prisons in Rwanda by P.F.R chaplains
Message from Executive Director
Once again, greetings to you our supporters and partners all over the world in the name of Jesus Christ!
Prison Fellowship Rwanda being an established a Christian non making profit organisation is working to transform, restore and reconcile Rwandans. As one of the most recognised NGO in Rwanda in area of reconciliation, PFR has enormous contributed towards unity and reconciliation in Rwanda. As of now, PFR continues to engage reconciliation teachings both in the prison and communities to sustain peaceful cohabitation of ex-prisoners, genocide survivors and other people.
We knew the only way to heal and transform the lives of those in the prison and communities was through the Word of God, but also to use other practical measures to reach as many people as possible. With your financial and moral support PFR is able to achieve this.
We will of course continue to update you on all of our different programs, successes, and prayer requests.
