The education director has recommended starting right away because the children are eager to return, and the community is already showing strong interest. We anticipate at least 150 children participating.

This summer program will give children a safe, structured place to learn, create, move, and reconnect. Activities will include literacy, reading, spelling, math support, ICT, debate, drama, traditional and modern dance, chess, STEM, creative arts, movement, football, handball, entrepreneurship, and senior-level science support.

The total baseline cost for the summer program is 651,000 RWF. Support already committed has brought the remaining launch gap down to 200,000 RWF.

We are inviting the community to support closing this 200,000 RWF gap so the program can begin on time. If we raise above the summer gap, the additional funds will support a final celebration day for the students with refreshments and certificates to honor their participation.

About Inzozi

Inzozi means dreams — and every dream deserves the chance to grow.

Inzozi Learning Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Gashora, a rural community just south of Kigali near the Burundi border. The land carries the deep scars of the 1994 genocide, which claimed more than 40,000 lives in this region alone.

Today, 98% of families in Gashora rely on agriculture, and 65% live below the poverty line. Education is how we break that cycle — free classes, books, tutoring, and a safe place for children and adults to keep learning.

Together, let's turn dreams into possibilities — one learner, one family, one community at a time.
