@PlanRwandaCD delivered remarks at @REMA_Rwanda 's 20-year journey celebration.
In line with #WorldEnvironmentDay, it was also a great opportunity to recognise climate action champions, including @unilak_rwanda Environmental Club, for its innovative campus greening project.
This is how we build resilient futures—investing in climate-smart agriculture today, while driving innovation through greenhouse and hydroponic systems for tomorrow. #SustainableDevelopment #PlanRwanda
🍲 When families have food on the table, children thrive.
Working with @IImbaraga, @PlanRwanda has established 3 greenhouses to empower 102 local farmers - 60 women & 42 men - in Nyaruguru, Gatsibo & Bugesera districts to adopt climate-resilient agriculture for food security.
Florida’s journey shows the power of equipping young people with practical, future-ready skills. From climate-smart agriculture to advancing high-tech solutions like hydroponics and greenhouses, we are opening new pathways for youth to thrive. #YouthEmpowerment #YEE #PlanRwanda
Florida, 26, proves the need to equip youth with life-changing skills.
She’s among 1,000+ youth trained in climate-smart agriculture and entrepreneurship, and today sells vegetables and fruits from her own harvests at her local market.

Today, @ABA_Rwanda hosted a team from @PlanRwanda, including @HoP_PIR, Child Protection, ECD & Safeguarding Manager @Hakim_mugenyi, and the Partnership Specialist, for a roundtable discussion on the impact and achievements of the Rindwa Child Protection Project.
Stories like Sophia’s remind us why we do what we do, breaking barriers and expanding opportunities for girls and young women every day. Proud of the impact of #YEE in transforming lives. 👏 #GirlsRights #PlanRwanda @RwandaYouthArts
🚗 Obtaining a Category B driving licence has been a big dream for Sophia, 22. Having never seen any girl driving in her community, she went for it and succeeded.
