Imbabazi Pre-school

In an effort to keep Roz’s legacy alive by providing early education to the surrounding community, we opened the Imbabazi Pre-School in September 2014.

The pre-school enrolled 63 children in three classes, ages 3-6 years. They were taught by three teachers, overseen by the Director of Education, in both Kinyarwanda and English. In addition to learning basic academic skills, the children took part in activities which highlighted interactive play, hands-on learning, nutrition and hygiene development, and even some early agricultural skills, taking full advantage of the surroundings at Imbabazi.

The children received a breakfast of hot milk or tea and biscuits when they arrived, and a nutritious lunch of local produce before they returned home each afternoon.

Roz started something amazing in our community by offering educational opportunities to her children, and it is gratifying to see that legacy continue. The pre-school classrooms facilities were unequalled elsewhere in the region, and the pre-school itself was the only one in full operation in Mudende sector at the time.
