"Our partnership with Mission Schools International will provide access to high quality education which is critical for us to achieve our ambitious goal of becoming a knowledge-based economy."

Building a Network of Schools in Africa

Mission Schools International (MSI) seeks to address the root of persistent poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa by building a network of secondary schools that combine:

• exceptional education
• basic healthcare
•  proper nutrition

A healthy and educated workforce is critical to break the cycle of poverty and bring about sustainable growth in underdeveloped countries. However, there is often no access to education, or education is interrupted by preventable illness. MSI's comprehensive approach addresses these interrelated issues and creates the prerequisite conditions for communities to thrive.

Mission Schools will foster academic, spiritual, physical, and emotional development to provide each student with the academic and leadership training to matriculate to regional universities and become engines of growth in their home communities.

MSI has been working closely with the Rwandan government throughout the process of building its first school, which will open in January 2011 in Rwinkwavu, Rwanda.
