Healthy People Rwanda (HPR) was established in 2011 by university students at the National University of Rwanda and was registered in 2013 as a local non-governmental organization that addresses inequalities in health while promoting a knowledge-based society. HPR’s main goal is to contribute to the development of health and human resources in the health sector and local communities in Rwanda. Through projects with local and international partners, HPR seeks to strengthen the capacity of Rwandans and create a hub for diverse expertise of young professionals who can contribute to local policies and programs. Since its inception, HPR has directed efforts to critically neglected areas such as Road Safety and has become the go-to organization for the Government of Rwanda in its effort to address road traffic crashes which, despite great progress, remains a difficult challenge.

Our Mission

The mission of Healthy People Rwanda is to empower local communities and improve their
quality of life through integrated health development commitments, effective service delivery and grassroots impact evaluations.

Our Vision

We are inspired and energized by one uniting vision: A future in which young people are
empowered and everyone has the best health possible.

Our Values

• Teamwork: The people of HPR work as a cohesive unit with common systems,
common knowledge, and unconditional teamwork.

• One mission: We believe that every system is designed to achieve the results it gets,
and only through continuous improvement of systems will we make a difference in
the quality of health and health care the world over. Patient and community centered
results define our success.

• Catalysts: To be an independent catalyst for monitoring development commitments,
delivery and impact on the grassroots; and to add more strong African voices to the
development agenda

• What matters: We interact with children, youth, adults and everyone with a spirit of
cooperation, a sense of humor, and the utmost respect.

• Celebration and Thankfulness: Our mission is long, and our work is not easy. We take
time to look back, as well as forward, to thank each other, and to take pride in what
we do.

HPR is democratically organized and governed by the General Assembly, Executive
Committee and the Board of Directors. All members in HPR have equal right to vote and run for any position within the organization and members design, implement and evaluate
different project activities in their specific project groups. They are the core foundation of
HPR and they decide the direction of the organization.

We aim to hire a self-directed, motivated professional who wants to grow with the
organization. While this contract position presently has funding for only one year we hope to find a coordinator with long-term aspirations to collaborate with various partners, locally
serving Rwanda by actively seeking and submitting applications for funding of future
projects.
