Rwanda is home to a disproportionately large population of orphans and vulnerable children. The purpose of this paper is to document and disseminate lessons learned in a Catholic Relief Services OVC savings and solidarity pilot project in Rwanda. This paper – part of a learning paper series – provides an overview of the project scope, how SILC was introduced into OVC programming, modifications that were made during project implementation and results of the pilot.
