About OSAPER

Fighting Famine and Poverty Through Food Security and Employment

OSAPER (Organisation pour Sécurité Alimentaire et Promotion de l'Emploi au Rwanda) is a national non-governmental organization established to address food insecurity, unemployment, and poverty challenges affecting communities in Rwanda. The organization was created following observations that agricultural surplus during production seasons often leads to shortages during off-seasons, resulting in famine, poverty, and social vulnerability.

  • Employment Promotion

OSAPER promotes sustainable solutions through community participation, including the creation of non-financial cereal banks to improve food storage, access, and resilience.
