Digital Learning for Kigali Christian School (KCS)

Youth for Christ Rwanda runs four private schools. Our first project starts in the capital Kigali with the distribution of digital learning systems for the Kigali Christian School (KCS).

The first training sessions were already held in advance via video conference.

The reception was very warm and we are grateful to have found such a professional partner in Rwanda with Youth for Christ.

When we trained the teachers and students, we were delighted to see that their prior knowledge was much higher than what we are used to in rural Tanzania: everyone already had good experience in using smartphones and tablets. The students were therefore able to quickly get to grips with the interactive learning programs. And the teachers continued the training independently right after we left.

The starting price per tablet in Rwanda is well over $200 – too expensive in our opinion. So we looked for alternative ways and ordered the tablets directly from China three months in advance. We imported them via Nairobi into East Africa and had them transported by bus from Kenya to Rwanda. This enabled us to get a final price of under $90 per tablet. Exactly one day before our arrival in Kigali, the employees of Youth for Christ were able to pick up the tablets from customs. Thank God for this timing!
