About BCCO Building Children’s Capacity Organization (BCCO) is a Rwandan nonprofit-making organization, legally registered by Law No. 158/05.12 of 17/07/2008. It was created in 2009 by a young group of women and men concerned about the situation of widows, orphans, and other vulnerable women and children after the 1994 genocide that left the social fabric of Rwandan society torn. Since its creation, the organization has been providing assistance in terms of capacity building, education, hygiene, psychological assistance, and advocacy. BCCO is made up of seven members, all of whom are Rwandan nationals. Some members are based in Rwanda, and the organization’s office is located in Gasabo District, Kimironko Sector. Building Children’s Capacity Organization is dedicated to improving the lives of neglected children in remote communities. It focuses on orphans, abandoned children, and families—especially in areas where humanitarian relief seldom reaches.

Vision The overall vision of Building Children’s Capacity Organization is to create conditions for sustainable development by engaging in infrastructure projects with long-term effects and working with indigenous populations and partners.
