  • In 2025 the Child Sponsorship Program brought quality school education to approximately 221 children in three pre-school classes as well as grades one thru twelve. This program helps each child to grow and develop mentally physically and spiritually. School fees transportation school day meals uniforms school supplies and hygiene supplies are provided for each child as well as health insurance for their entire family. Sponsorship also covers the administrative costs of the program including two full-time employees of HFCM-Rwanda who oversees and coordinates the program in Rwanda. In additional 25 full-time teachers are hired for the school school office personnel as well as support staff providing employment for native Rwandans. Associated with this program are opportunities for child sponsors to provide support for the childs family and one-time gifts such as birthday cakes and presents clothing and shoes food for the family art supplies soccer balls chickens goats cows solar lighting mattresses blankets towels and many other items.

  • We train and bring teams from the USA for short-term mission trips to Rwanda to teach and train over 1000 children and their families including 400 plus parents. They bring lesson materials to disciple educate and care for them as we build relationships. Life skills are taught such as learning the importance of good hygiene understanding the dangers of drugs proper nutrition simple farming sexual purity to reduce teen pregnancy parenting best practices early childhood development practices and family planning. Discipleship is designed to help develop and grow the children and their parents in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Lessons are reinforced with visual aids art projects games songs and puppets. In 2025 there were 2 separate mission trips. Teams often bring donated items to bless the children and families who are held in the grip of poverty. These include clothes shoes school supplies soccer balls and nets and other necessary items.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
