With support from the German Embassy in Kigali, we refurbished the outdated smart classroom at Katarara Secondary School by the end of 2025, equipped it with 30 new laptops, and connected it to high-speed internet. When students returned after the Christmas break, a new coding club—implemented with the Software Development Training Center “The Gym”—started immediately. Another 30 students are now learning software development in a modern learning environment.
We now operate coding clubs at three schools, all with reliable internet access.
Funds raised through this platform, combined with other contributions, are used to:
• finance coding clubs
• provide two scholarships for a three-year vocational IT training
• cover initial installation costs for high-speed internet (with ongoing subscription costs covered by the Rwanda Basic Education Board)
We continue to expand our education activities: construction of the seventh smart classroom is currently underway, with the eighth planned for June. Target is that all eleven schools in our project area Juru Sector will have smart classrooms, fast internet and teachers trained to teach IT to their students.
