    We know that the power of the imagination can engage the mind, increase curiousity, and change the world.

    Imagine We Rwanda is an organization that was born in 2015 with the passion to change the reading culture among children and youth in Rwanda, and give a voice to young authors.

    We believe that all stories are beautiful and worth sharing with the world. So, why not start with our own communities.
