A child who knows the Word knows their calling.
The Mwana Soma Bibiliya Initiative is reviving Sunday schools, growing Bible clubs, and training the teachers who form the next generation of Scripture-literate, creation-loving disciples.
The Problem
Across rural Rwanda, Sunday schools and children's ministries have quietly disappeared. Many churches no longer have curriculum, materials, or trained teachers — and the children grow up without the biblical grounding their parents once received.
Without that foundation, the connection between faith and daily life — including the call to steward God's creation — is missed entirely. A generation is at risk of inheriting the land without inheriting the calling.
How We Work
Four reinforcing investments that put biblical literacy back at the centre of childhood.
Sunday School Revival
Restoring Sunday schools in 600+ congregations across Rwanda, supplying curriculum, materials, and mentorship so children encounter Scripture every week — not just on special occasions.
Bible Club Network
Establishing and supporting 1,500+ Bible clubs at churches, schools, and community centres — weekly gatherings where children study the Word, sing, learn, and grow in faith together.
Teacher Training
Equipping 600+ Sunday-school teachers and Bible-club leaders with biblical literacy curriculum, pedagogy training, and ongoing coaching so the discipleship lasts beyond the lesson.
Creation-Care Integration
Weaving Genesis stewardship into every curriculum — children learn that caring for God's earth is part of loving God, not a separate, secular concern.

“Our Sunday school had been closed for years. When TIDA brought the curriculum and trained our teachers, the children came running. Now every week the room is full — and they are the ones reminding us to plant trees.”— Sunday-school Coordinator, Rural Parish
