Once a year, each Rwandan school district organizes an “Open Day” for district partners to showcase their activities, products, and services. As usual, the 2016 Gasabo district’s “Open Day” is being held at the Amahoro National Stadium in Kigali. From June 28 to June 30, the Gasabo community will have a unique opportunity to learn more about the various development partners active in the school district.
And we’re one of them!
As a key education development partner, Wellspring Foundation is honoured to participate in “Open Day”. Each year, this event provides us with the opportunity to showcase the nature of our work in public schools to the Gasabo community, as well as the chance to explain why we do what we do. We love sharing about our passion to be a catalyst for transforming education for hundreds of thousands of African children and fostering vibrant communities that address poverty in all its forms.
“We commend the district of Gasabo for giving such an opportunity to all its partners to share what they do with the Community but also to build the synergy between different stakeholders. There are great initiatives and innovative solutions developed by many actors in the districts but that remain untold. So this event allows us to openly say to the community of Gasabo : ‘We do all this for you’” —Vedaste Byombi, Wellspring’s Program Manager: Community Involvement
