Carving Our Dream From A Hillside
Program
In 2004, there was one university in Rwanda — now there are seventeen. International university recruiters have begun to discover Rwanda, and we have launched an after-school study program for students who qualify for advanced tutoring. Now, in 2024, our graduates have started NGOs, studied in Germany and the United States, as well as obtaining college degrees in Africa. They are making the goal, “Changing the future of Rwanda, one student at a time” a reality.
Future Vision: We have two big dreams for our future!
This plan was adopted in November 2023.
