Connect Rwanda
Share
Connect Rwanda’s primary objectives are to bring technology to the classrooms of Rwandan, promote tea
One of the best parts of being here.
After a long day of work, the welcome is song, rhythm, and movement.
No script.
No plan.
Just people connecting.
These are the moments that stay with you.

Over 1,000 farmers bring their harvest to this station—each carrying 80 lb bags of coffee cherries.
They’re weighed, paid, and the process begins.
Being here during the harvest was incredible.
Connect Rwanda is now exploring what it would look like to bring coffee like this to the U.S.—working through the logistics, partnerships, and possibilities.
If it comes together, it won’t just be about coffee.
It will be about creating a sustainable way to support education in under-resourced schools across Rwanda.
Early stages—but worth exploring.

A meaningful moment of partnership.
Rotary leaders, APACOPE board members, and the Rotary Club of Kigali Virunga (RCKV) coming together with Connect Rwanda—alongside the teachers of New Star Youth Academy.
This is what collaboration looks like.

Another important step forward.
Teachers at New Star Youth Academy are now receiving their own laptops—giving them the tools to prepare lessons, access information, and begin integrating new ways of teaching.
Technology alone doesn’t change a school.
Empowered teachers do.
This is how it starts.

“The Future Begins Here.”
Today in Rwanda, that phrase became real.
Connect Rwanda, working with Rotary, APACOPE, and New Star Youth Academy, helped place laptops and connectivity into the hands of teachers who are ready to learn, grow, and bring the world into their classrooms.
This is not just about computers.
It is about giving under-resourced teachers the tools, training, and confidence to improve student outcomes for years to come.
When teachers are connected, students are connected.
And when students are connected, futures open.

Connect Rwanda is back on the ground in Kigali.
Over the next 10 days, we’ll be working with our partner schools, supporting teachers, and continuing to build sustainable education programs.
This trip is focused on strengthening relationships, aligning on training, and ensuring our technology initiatives are making a real impact in the classroom.
We’ll also be exploring opportunities to expand our impact—including the potential return of our coffee program.
Excited for the week ahead!!

It’s been some time since I posted here, but Rwanda has stayed very close to my heart.
Connect Rwanda is quietly growing — new partnerships, new grants, and new opportunities for students and teachers at APACOPE and New Star Youth Academy.
I’m grateful for everyone who continues to believe in this mission. Together, we’re helping bring technology, training, and connection to a new generation of Rwandan learners.
More updates soon — and thank you for walking this journey with us.
