Empower Rwanda's Future Leaders

Life School Rwanda

A nonprofit organization founded by a survivor of the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda Against the Tutsi. Eddy Kalisa, is the co-founder and Principal of the Life School pre-school and elementary school. A kind American family helped take care of him and paid for him to go to school. Eddy went to college and earned a master’s in business administration. Their kindness and support turned my hate and thirst for revenge into forgiveness, and a great motivation to open a school for children in the
Nyamata Bugesera District in 2018, with my younger brother .
Our school provides breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner to 300 children. Our education model is a hybrid of Pikler Pedagogy, American best practice models and the National Curriculum. We also train caregivers and parents on positive parenting and nutrition on our school
premises every weekend. We do not receive any funding from the government. But
Churches, individuals from the United States and New Zealand, and contribute the sums they can to enable the good works of the Life School.
Our aim now is to expand our program to enroll 500 students including children experiencing stunted growth, the homeless, children with disabilities and children on the autistic spectrum.
