“Every child in Rwanda can learn to read, write, and compute — with the right support, the right tools, and the right teacher.”
Dr. Christine Umutoni · Programme Director
LIFT is built around four interconnected principles that guide every decision — from national policy to individual classrooms.
Fully embedded within Rwanda's national education system, working directly through MINEDUC, REB, and district education offices for sustainable, systemic impact.
Tailored pedagogical tools, Universal Design for Learning, and specialist coaching ensure girls, children with disabilities, and marginalized learners are never left behind.
Every intervention is grounded in rigorous classroom research — decodable Kinyarwanda books, structured pedagogy routines, and diagnostic literacy assessments.
From 640 primary schools today to full national scale by 2030 — building systems, capacity, and community ownership that outlast the programme itself.
