About Us
BOUND FOR CHANGE is a newly established NGO dedicated to improving education access for vulnerable communities.
The organization gathers and donates scholastic materials and hardcover books in diverse languages, while also providing digital devices and connecting volunteer teachers from France and other part of the world with grassroots organizations.
Our Mission
BOUND FOR CHANGE is dedicated to transforming education in Rwanda and Burundi by distributing books, devices, and connecting volunteer teachers from around the world to underserved communities. Our work starts here, but our vision is global.
Our Story
Founded in January 2025, BOUND FOR CHANGE was born out of a shared belief in the power of education to break the cycle of poverty. Our founders saw the urgent need for educational resources in Rwanda and Burundi and decided to take action. With plans to expand across East Africa, we are just geting started.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every child in Rwanda, Burundi, and beyond has access to the tools and teachers they need to thrive.

Unlike other NGOs that focus solely on book donations, we take a comprehensive approach by integrating technology, mentorship, and long-term sustainability.
-
Beyond Donations – We provide both physical and digital learning tools, ensuring access to modern education.
-
Skill Development – We train, mentor, and empower rather than just distribute resources.
-
Sustainable Impact – Our approach fosters self-reliance and long-term learning.
-
Localized and Scalable – We collaborate with grassroots organizations to ensure our initiatives are culturally relevant and adaptable.
