Last March, Spark's Ben Thomas sat down with Spark community members to hear how they felt their communities had changed since the beginning of their partnership.

Spark's Rwanda Country Director, Gilbert Nsabimana, travelled to Kigali with other Spark colleagues to attend the African Philanthropy Forum - sharing experiences with other international NGOs and learning how to leverage effective strategic partnerships to magnify our social impact.

We are so excited to finally announce that after much planning and hard work, our partnership with Gakenke district has officially launched!

In February, we signed an MOU with LODA (Local Administrative Entities Development Agency) in Rwanda.

We talked to one community member, Shakira, about her experience over the last year, as well as her hopes for the New Year…

Last April, the Spark team visited the West Nile region in Northern Uganda to meet with organizations working in refugee integration.

The community of Pugwaro recently invited the Spark team, along with several local government officials and neighboring Spark communities, for a day of thanks-giving.
