Located in the heart of Musanze in northern Rwanda, the centre was renovated in partnership with Musanze district. Its campus-like design, built with local materials, includes training halls, a Fablab*, a Knowledge lab, a library, artist workshops, IT services, as well as sports facilities for basketball, volleyball, and handball afficionados.

 

Empowering the region’s youth and supporting them in finding their own path is at the very heart of the project. That’s why the centre was designed as a hub for entrepreneurial and skills exploration, where young people can explore various sports and arts, but also exploit their skills creatively.

 

More than a buzzword, digitalisation is also a cornerstone of the project: the centre provides IT equipment and training to empower individuals with the necessary tools to navigate the digital age and foster job opportunities.
