🇷🇼 Rwanda

Why Rwanda?

Rwanda gives students something no European itinerary can: a live case study in national rebuilding, led by Africans, within living memory. Students encounter technology and enterprise growing on the continent rather than being imported to it — and often revise what they assumed about Africa in the process.
