What is the Rwandan Orphans Project (ROP)?
ROP was started in 2006 after two members of the church visited Rwanda and witnessed the desperate plight of the children living in the streets. Some of them were survivors of the 1994 genocide with no surviving family. Some were living on the streets because there simply was not enough food at their house.
What is CLC’s connection to ROP?
When the story of Rwandan children trying to survive by begging and stealing food was told to the CLC congregation, there was an immediate response to raise funds to help those suffering in the streets of their home country. This was the beginning of ROP and CLC’s relationship.
What was started as a goal to provide food, shelter, clothes, and education has developed into a center of community. Children served by ROP now have the ability to look beyond merely surviving in the streets. They can now live out their God given right to follow their dreams.
CLC continues to support ROP through donations and prayers.
