2019 Ride for Rwanda Bike Fundraiser

We’ve all been there – we have a toothache and pick up the phone to make an appointment with our family dentist.  What we take as “normal” and every day living is something completely unattainable to most of the people of Rwanda.  A toothache for a Rwandan child could simply mean living with a lifetime of pain, debilitating consequences, or it could even be life threatening.

On April 27th, His Hands On Africa team riders took on the challenge of participating in a 10, 25, 50, 75 mile mountain bike race at the Ride for Rwanda (rwandaride.com). Our goal was to raise $15,000 to fully equip the mobile clinic at our first Compassion Community Dental Clinic in Nyamata, Rwanda.  The mobile Dental Clinic will provide free and subsidized dental care to the unreached people living in the villages surrounding Nyamata.  This will be a monumental event for a country with only 48 dentists to serve a population of 12.69 million people (2019 United Nations estimates).

Thank you for partnering with us. With your overwhelming support we met our goals to fully equip the mobile clinic at our first Compassion Community Dental Clinic in Nyamata, Rwanda.  We give all glory to God for His outpouring grace and provisions over our campaign and all of our team members were able to glorify God through their passion for riding.
