Our “contributourism” tours of Rwanda combine volunteerism with adventure travel, providing you the experience of a lifetime while making a measurable difference in the lives of Rwandan schoolchildren. You’ll discover the complex history of this African nation and meet its incredible people. You’ll marvel at the region’s abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Most importantly, you’ll volunteer, getting to know Rwandan students and teachers, and making needed improvements to their school site. Join AESF on our next adventure!

Bridging the learning gap in America’s schools through virtual tutoring

Unable to work in Africa due to pandemic restrictions, and aware of the growing “COVID learning gap” at home, AESF applied for and was granted funding to create an elementary level tutoring program for American students. In partnership with AmeriCorps Seniors, our volunteers now provide California students in grades 3-5 with mathematics tutoring and mentorship through our state-of-the-art online program.

Changing perspectives with a study abroad program like no other

Currently postponed due to the pandemic, this first of its kind Overseas Learning Adventure program waits to welcome American high school students and teachers to Rwanda for a semester filled with new experiences, rigorous academics, and cultural exchange with Rwandan students with an emphasis on conservation and environmental science.
