About Our Organization

About Us

Gethsemane Foundation (GF) is a faith-based, nonprofit organization established in 2025 and headquartered in Kigali, Gasabo, Rwanda. Our mission is to bring holistic transformation to vulnerable individuals — especially women, children, and youth — by addressing their spiritual, physical, emotional, and socio-economic needs.

Inspired by the biblical Garden of Gethsemane — a place of prayer, surrender, and transformation — we walk alongside those in crisis and need, offering support that restores dignity, hope, and purpose.

At GF, we believe true transformation touches the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Our programs are built on Christian values and designed to empower communities, eliminate poverty, promote education and health, and foster lasting personal and social change.
