A bicycle can change a life – now it needs a home. In 1994, the genocide against the Tutsi devastated Rwanda and left countless children orphaned. One of them was Florent Nsengumuremyi, one of the few survivors in his family. An old bicycle, gifted to Florent by an elderly man, changed his life. It gave him access to education and opened a path toward a better future. Since 2022, Shift Up For Rwanda has supported the TLCA through donations, campaigns, and personal involvement. Today, more than 20 children and young people between 10 and 20 years old are part of the academy. Many have progressed to secondary school or completed their education. Now we are taking the next step. We have rented a building for the next five years, creating a place where around 25 children and young people can find education, opportunities, community – and most importantly, a home. But before the building can become a safe and dignified home, it needs urgent improvements.
