At CEMS, we consider education to be a vital element for the long-term development of all societies. However, a proper elementary education is still beyond the reach of millions of children around the world. By giving some of these children access to education we are helping them build a brighter future. Students at CEMS schools carried out a 3-year vow to support this UNICEF project.

for Africa Rwanda: Progress in 2011 and CEMS support
Of
the US $ 60,225 transferred to UNICEF in 2011, US $ 30,000 were utilised in
2011. In particular the first US
$ 30,000 contributed to the construction and rehabilitation work, including the
provision of separate latrines for girls and boys, for one of the 80 targeted
Primary Schools. For the 2012 results we have to wait for the Country Annual
Reports which will be available in May 2012. Schools
for Africa Rwanda: Progress in 2011 and CEMS support
Of
the US $ 60,225 transferred to UNICEF in 2011, US $ 30,000 were utilized in

the sections that CEMs funds have directly supported. In particular the first US

The expiration date for the CEMS
funds is end of 2013. However, by end of 2012, the remaining US $ 30,000 may
well have been fully utilised by the Rwanda Country Office. The 2012 results are pending and will be posted shortly. We will see this at
annual reporting time which will be available in May 2013.
