In Action – Rwanda
Community development in Rwanda
Interconnect International (I³) is working in partnership with local leaders and a Catholic priest in Rwanda to support community-driven development, leadership formation, and shared future visioning. Our work seeks to establish roots for long-term relationships, learning about others, and the belief that sustainable change grows from within communities themselves.
A central partner in this work is Catholic priest Father Felix Kayiranga, whose leadership and deep connection to local communities guide collaborative efforts focused on women’s empowerment, youth, education, and community well-being. We have provided I3 activities in Rwanda and continue to support Fr. Felix’s ongoing efforts.
