Two Seattle women visited Rwanda and now have a vision of furthering girls’ education and of promoting community activities. They are building a secondary school for 270 girls with a strong focus on leadership, technology, hospitality and agriculture. The local community around the school will share the new, large community center, agricultural demonstration gardens and playing fields.

Together these groups will form close ties that will foster the success in this area and in Rwanda. With US support from an international architectural firm and Washington State University, as well as from the Rwandan Government, the project is now underway. The Rwandan architectural team is in place and ready to break ground the Summer of 2009. The interest and enthusiasm generated on both sides of the Atlantic will help to carry this project along in record time.
