"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."

-Dr. Daphrose Gahakwa,  Minister of Education Rwanda 

Building a Network of Schools in Africa

Mission Schools International (MSI) seeks to address the root of persistent poverty in Rwanda by developing a network of secondary schools that combine: exceptional education, basic healthcare, and 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.

MSI schools will focus on Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship  with an emphasis on developing critical thinking skills.  These subjects have been identified as being essential to building a knowledge-based economy.  Graduates trained in these areas will become not just job seekers, but job creators who will become engines of growth in their home communities.
