Oxford Friends are long-term partners with the Quaker charity HROC, in Rwanda: first, by supporting training workshops and saving-and-credit schemes for people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS; second, by selling Christmas and greeting cards made by the women’s group, Urumuri, with support from HROC; and third, through support for training young women who are struggling with the immense challenges of being single mothers in a hostile social environment. 

HROC’s ability to do this work is now handicapped by the complete breakdown of its laptop computer. A reconditioned second-hand computer will cost approximately £350. 

Donations to the HROC can be made in two ways, via a special account managed by Glen & Alison Williams:

• Online bank transfer: G and A Williams Partners, a/c 50323628, Sort Code 607003, Natwest Bank

• Cheque: Payable to G&A Williams Partners, c/- Glen and Alison Williams, 93 Divinity Road, Oxford OX4 1LN.
