Peace and Hope Academy, located in Kinyinya sector in Gasabo District, is gaining popularity among parents for its commitment to supporting students from low-income families. Founded by Mr. Albert Musabyimana in 2012, the school aims to provide quality education to all children, regardless of their background or financial situation.
With a current enrollment of 350 students, Peace and Hope Academy is facing challenges due to limited space. Musabyimana is working towards expanding the school’s capacity to accommodate more students and improve the quality of education provided.
Despite charging low fees, and even offering free education to some students, the school has seen success in State Examinations, with two batches of 43 students graduating between 2022 and 2024. Notably, the school has a high number of female graduates, aligning with its goal of promoting girls’ education.
Looking towards the future, Musabyimana hopes to increase enrollment to 1000 students by 2030, focusing on providing opportunities for children from low-income families. However, the school currently faces challenges in finding adequate space for all children seeking to enroll.
As Peace and Hope Academy continues to make a difference in the lives of students in Gasabo District, the support and resources needed to expand its reach and impact are crucial for achieving its mission of providing quality education to all.
