Building communities through storytelling, learning and partnerships between Canada and Rwanda.
Too often, Africa is understood through stories told from a distance. Building Bridges with Rwanda creates opportunities for people to encounter one another, learn from one another, and discover what becomes possible when knowledge and experience move in both directions.
For nearly two decades, we have connected communities in Canada and Rwanda through storytelling, experiential learning, community partnerships and shared action.
The bridge carries people, knowledge and opportunities in both directions.
