APPR (Association des Potiers Progressistes au Rwanda)

APPR stands for l'Association des Potiers Progressites du Rwanda. It is a local NGO active in Kigali and surrounding rural areas. The organization started with the support of traditional pottery manufacturing of the Batwa people. Soon, the importance of education for future generations of these and other minorities residing in extreme poverty became clear.

We implemented several development projects under the Batwa community. APPR started a Nursery School in Gikondo and a Primary School in Rulindo. APPR makes itself strong to give a voice to minorities and families residing in extreme poverty. Our main aim is to improve the situation of those in need with no distinction between believe, etnicy or personal believes.
