At a time when the Rwandan youth
were re-defining their goals and aspirations;
came a beacon guiding the path forward: YouthConnekt!
We are in 2012, in Kigali, Rwanda.
A vision emerges, so vast and clear
one driven by an urgent call for transformation,
a profound need to uplift, to engender meaningful evolution within our community.
Purpose guided us.
Facilitating interactions.
Nurturing our talents.
Connecting to opportunities.
Building a more diverse,
inclusive community.
We embody a culture of innovation and hard work,
and while the youth trends have evolved over the decade,
our commitment to Rwandan youth remains steadfast and unchanged.
Thousands of young entrepreneurs entered the league
of disrupting the business sector across Rwanda,
starting with their own communities
The world will never be the same
because of these men and women.
Our purpose is woven into YouthCoonnekt’s DNA -
and foundational to YouthConnekt’s future.
Resulting in a robust network of young transformers,
YouthConnekt triggered the creation of more than 36,000 direct jobs,
nurtured 24,000 policy advocates and 4 Million community activists.
Over the 10 years, the program has invested
2,5 Billion Frw in over 2,000 youth-led businesses
contributing 5 Billion Frw to Rwanda's economy in return.
Started as a homegrown initiative,
YouthConnekt is now a continental movement
with a presence in over 30 African countries.
We are firmly rooted in community, accountability, a belief that progress conquers, and remains possible
I am grateful for the past 10 years of impact.
The future is bright because we, the youth, understand the quest and are ready
To forge and run the dream of a better Rwanda
As we face the future head-on
A better Africa, a better world, starting with one innovative idea that responds to challenges.
Empowered, and a brighter 10 years ahead.
