Since we celebrated the opening of our first Children’s Peace Library in 2009, it has become a cherished place to many of the children of the Kicukiro neighborhood in Kigali. Outside the capital, our libraries in Gisenyi and Kanzenze (Rubavu District), Byumba (Gicumbi District), and Ruhengeri (Musanze District) provide unique spaces where Rwandans have free access to children’s books.
Children participate in conflict resolution and mediation training hosted in the library. Our education approach differs dramatically from education model employed in Rwandan public schools, with emphasizes memorization and repetition. We focus on effective education: developing character and leadership by linking inner values with everyday actions in interpersonal relationships.
