The Entrepreneurship and Innovation programme aims at promoting job creation, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit among the youth, through initiatives such as ArtRwanda-Ubuhanzi and Innovation Accelerator.
The programme provides mentorship, training and financial support to young entrepreneurs and innovators, especially those seeking to provide solutions in response to challenges related to sexual reproductive health, comprehensive sexuality education, family planning, and mental health, among others.
The iAccelerator Programme has played a crucial role in supporting our ‘#BigombaGuhinduka’ project, which focuses on addressing mental health stigma and improving access to information. In 2022, our project excelled in the competition, securing financial aid and benefiting from
a comprehensive six-month business training program.
Currently, we have successfully reached over 20,000 university students and gained the support of 40,000 online followers. Using comic art, our initiative targets youth audiences, aiming to save lives by spreading critical information effectively. Our project has not only achieved financial success but has also established important partnerships that bolster our impact.
We are deeply grateful to the Imbuto Foundation and the iAccelerator Programme for providing us with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in our communities. Their support has been invaluable in our journey towards success and sustainability.
