Rwanda Youth Music empowers young people to be actors for change within their own communities and beyond. We build the skills of these local actors in order to provide lasting changes to individuals, communities, and to the infrastructure of care provision in Rwanda. 

Over the past 12 years, Rwanda Youth Music has reached over 50,000 children and youth, focussing on communities that face multiple vulnerabilities for their futures, such as in neighbourhoods living in poverty, those living in refugee camps, former street children, orphans, and young people facing challenges to their wellbeing and health. Many of these challenges are cross-cutting, resulting in multiple points of vulnerability for young people who face vastly reduced opportunities for their futures. We work with these children and youth, providing opportunities for creativity, expression and communication. This can be transformative.
