🌟 A Vibrant Day for Young People at REAP! 🌟
On 28 August, REAP brought together around 500 young people for a vibrant community event combining health awareness, mental well-being, HIV prevention and testing, and youth talent. Young people enjoyed inspiring performances from Urwerane Traditional Dance, Ineza Gymnastics, a Fashion Show Group, and artists from Kigali—celebrating creativity, culture, and talent. 🎶💃🤸🏾‍♂️ The event also created space for important conversations about family conflicts and mental health, as well as HIV prevention and knowing your status. ❤️ A special appreciation to our partners, health professionals, performers, volunteers, and everyone who made this celebration possible. Together, we are creating a space where young people can learn, connect, stay healthy, and shine! 🌱✨

Learning Never Takes a Break! 📚✨
While many students are enjoying their school holiday, 93 children are spending part of their break building skills that will shape their future.
Four days each week, REAP teachers lead exciting learning sessions where students develop:
📖 Story reading and comprehension
🗣️ Conversational English
📚 English reading skills
💻 Multimedia skills
🎲 Fun literacy games and interactive activities
These sessions create a joyful environment where children gain confidence, strengthen their communication skills, and discover the love of reading through play and collaboration.
At REAP, we believe that every school break is an opportunity to inspire young minds and help children continue learning in fun and meaningful ways.
Thank you to everyone who supports our mission of empowering children through education. Together, we are helping raise confident readers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners.

🌟 From Musha to the National Stage! ⚽🇷🇼

What an incredible week for REAP’s Ineza Football Academy!
After a strong performance in the Nkuriza Kickstart Rwamagana 2026 tournament, Ineza FA finished top of Group A and secured a place in the semi-finals, edging the group on the head-to-head tiebreaker after all three teams finished with three points.
Adding to this exciting achievement, Frank Lylan Shyaka, who developed his football talent through REAP’s Ineza Football Academy, has been selected to join the Tony Football Excellence Program, one of Rwanda’s leading youth football development initiatives that combines elite football training with education and player development.
These milestones reflect our commitment to nurturing young people through sport, education, discipline, and opportunity. We are proud of every player, coach, and supporter who continues to make the Ineza Football Academy family stronger.
Congratulations to Frank and the entire Ineza FA team! The journey continues. 💙💛⚽

It was a day of joy, gratitude, and unity.

Celebrating the Day of the African Child at REAP’s Ineza Academy! 🇷🇼✨
Today, our campus was filled with endless joy, laughter, and learning. Our incredible students and teachers came together to celebrate with traditional and modern dances, fun games, and delicious snacks! 💃🕺🍩
But the day wasn’t just about celebrating—it was also about empowering. Eugene, REAP’s Program Manager, led an inspiring discussion with the children about their rights and responsibilities. The kids explored how to champion their own rights while fulfilling their obligations at home, at school, and within their communities. 🤝📚
Days like today remind us why we do what we do: to create safe, nurturing, and empowering environments where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
