The Roadmap · Year 1 of 6
Vision 2031:
Faith in Action.
Healing Families. Transforming Communities.
By 2031, Emmaus Family Center will be Rwanda's leading center of excellence for family wellness and psychoeducation — operating a self-sustaining Retreat and Training Center, serving 15,000+ families, and influencing systems across East Africa.
This is not a wish. It is a plan.

The Strategy
Four Pillars.
One Movement.
Each pillar is a distinct strategy. Together, they form an integrated vision for family wholeness across Rwanda and East Africa.
Pillar 01
Family Strengthening
"When families heal, nations thrive."
Through IMIZI MYIZA and Still, I Choose You, EFC equips 120+ family units per year with the relational skills to build enduring, emotionally healthy households.
2031 Goals
- 40% improvement in relationship satisfaction by 2031
- 30% reduction in reported domestic conflict among graduates
- 120+ family units equipped annually
Pillar 02
Psychoeducation & Emotional Wellbeing
"Proactive care prevents crises."
Through peer support, corporate wellness partnerships, and the IMIZI Family Podcast, EFC will become Rwanda's leading psychoeducation provider — serving 200+ institutions and reaching families across the region through digital content.
2031 Goals
- 200+ institutions served with psychoeducation training
- IMIZI Family Podcast launched and reaching families nationally

Pillar 03
Community Outreach — BAHO
"Restoring childhood through healing families."

"Building for legacy."
A purpose-built Retreat and Training Center within 30km of Kigali — generating income through residential retreats, professional training, and conference hosting, while remaining a center of healing for the most vulnerable.
2031 Goals
- Purpose-built Retreat & Training Center completed
- Self-sustaining operations through earned income
- Accredited practitioner training programs running
- EFC influencing family wellness policy across East Africa

Training Center.
