About Organisation
The BK Foundation is a Rwandan philanthropic organization dedicated to advancing education, environmental sustainability, and innovation to empower future generations. Established with the mission to create lasting social impact, the Foundation partners with local communities, NGOs, and social enterprises to implement scalable and sustainable projects. BK Foundation focuses on addressing systemic barriers to education and social inclusion, particularly for children with disabilities and marginalized groups. Through its grant programs, it promotes collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based solutions to drive Rwanda’s progress toward equitable and inclusive development. The Foundation’s approach combines financial support, capacity building, and knowledge-sharing to foster self-sustaining communities where every individual has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and contribute meaningfully to society. Its commitment to inclusivity reflects Rwanda’s broader national goals of accessible education and social transformation.
About the Grant
The BK Foundation Inclusive Education Grant 2026 is launched under the theme “Access to Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Promoting Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All.” This three-year project aims to strengthen Rwanda’s education system by improving learning opportunities for children with disabilities and special needs. The grant focuses on seven priority areas: inclusive education, assistive technology, educator capacity building, parental empowerment, community sensitization, health linkages, and innovation for sustainability. Through this call, the Foundation seeks creative, evidence-driven solutions that foster inclusive education ecosystems, support lifelong learning, and promote community participation. The selected partner organization will receive a performance-based implementation grant, with disbursements tied to measurable milestones and outcomes. Applicants must also contribute at least 30% of the total project budget as matching funds. The initiative embodies the Foundation’s belief that education should be a universal right and a driver of inclusive social progress.
Who can Apply?
Eligible applicants include local NGOs, social enterprises, and educational or specialized institutions legally registered and operating in Rwanda. Organizations must demonstrate at least five years of experience in inclusive education, disability support, or related community programs. Applicants should show strong institutional capacity, evidence of collaboration with local stakeholders, and expertise in managing multi-year projects. While less experienced organizations are also welcome to apply, they must demonstrate credible partnerships or a track record of community-based success in education or disability inclusion. Projects must be inclusive, innovative, and sustainable—integrating adaptive learning aids, teacher training, and accessible technologies to ensure equal participation for learners with disabilities. Additionally, all applicants must provide matching funds equivalent to 30% of the total project budget and commit to transparent monitoring, evaluation, and reporting practices. The grant favors initiatives that can serve as scalable models of inclusive education and community engagement.
How to Apply?
Eligible organizations must prepare a detailed proposal outlining project objectives, implementation strategy, expected outcomes, sustainability plans, and a clear budget breakdown with matching fund details.
