In‑country

The work is run from Rwanda, by Rwandans.

Mentoring, workshops, school partnerships and daily operations are delivered by a Rwanda‑based team. Most began their careers teaching in Rwandan classrooms of forty children, which is why the training they deliver survives contact with one.

That matters more than it may sound. A workshop led by someone who has never taught under those conditions is easy for teachers to dismiss, and they are right to.
