Welcome to RICA

You might think we are just another institution.

But we are here to build the future.

To start a movement.

Not to simply educate, but to be educated by one another.

Not just to dream, but to make.

With our hands in the soil of today, we believe and teach and learn for tomorrow.

We do this not only for our own stories, but for the story of Rwanda. We are a family full of passion, resilience and belief…

A belief that our connection to the world around us, our neighbors—it is vital to who we are and who we are becoming.

Together—we grow, we learn, we build. We tend fields and trails and futures.

It is here that innovation fuels us forward and integrity guides our every step.

For what we are building is much more than just an institution, it’s a movement.

Welcome to RICA.
