BRIDGE2RWANDA

Bridge2Rwanda was formed in 2007 to help expand Rwanda's global network of friends, to encourage foreign direct investment and to create opportunities for Rwandan students to study abroad. A few years later, President Paul Kagame asked B2R to develop a new scholars program to “burst the bottlenecks” that were preventing Rwanda's best students from competing for international scholarships. The first class of Bridge2Rwanda Scholars was launched in 2011.
