Uburezi Iwacu, a five-year literacy project launched in 2011 and funded by USAID, is transforming education in Rwanda by creating safe, literacy-rich environments for children, especially in underserved communities like Gisagara. Through community libraries equipped with books, digital tools, and inclusive spaces, the project addresses key learning barriers and fosters a culture of reading. It supports nearly 890,000 children and over 829,000 parents across all 30 districts, with a special focus on early literacy and children with disabilities. By improving home literacy environments and encouraging community involvement, Uburezi Iwacu is boosting confidence, academic skills, and social integration among young learners.

Reading Camp Raises Ratanak's Literacy and Confidence

Nyamata Technical Secondary School (TSS) once struggled with a lack of essential educational resources, leaving students unable to gain practical skills in areas like technology and engineering. This changed dramatically when World Vision partnered with the school in 2010, providing modern computers and digital learning tools that transformed the educational experience. Students like Raymond and Obald now gain hands-on experience in programming, networking, and design, equipping them with skills needed to thrive in Rwanda’s growing digital economy. Teachers have also seen a significant improvement in their ability to deliver effective lessons, thanks to the enhanced resources. Today, Nyamata TSS stands as a powerful example of how targeted support and community partnerships can unlock students’ potential and prepare them for meaningful careers in a tech-driven world.
