Welcome to the National Commission for Children website.

The care of children matters to all of us. It affects how we live our lives, influence our capacity to develop both as individuals and as a society; reflects on our aspirations of the kind of Rwanda we wish to leave for the generations to come.

This is why we at the National commission for Children, an organ of the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, are continuously working to ensure a child friendly society that places children at the center of development, recognizing their individuality, respecting their voices, observing their best interests and protecting them from violence, neglect, abuse and exploitation.

In advancing Child Rights and protection, the Commission, through its partners, is implementing the Integrated Child Rights Policy (ICRP) which comprises of seven thematic areas. These include Identity and Nationality, Family and Alternative care, Survival, Health and Standards of living, Education, Protection, Justice and Child Participation. In addition to this, we are implementing the Child Care Reform through programs such as Tubarerere Mu Muryango (TMM), targeting orphaned, vulnerable children and adolescents, reintegrating them into families and organized homes, as well as supporting them with taking up income generating activities among many other activities.

It is on this premise that we aim to communicate our processes, progress and success stories by unpacking our experiences through stories on current events, programs and projects, details of which can be found on our website.

As your support and feedback is highly valued, please feel free to share with us your experiences in advancing child rights and protection.

Thank you
