Wellspring Foundation

During a recent school visit in Rwanda, Philip (one of our Canadian team members) had the wonderful opportunity to engage in a dynamic student wellbeing session in one of our partner schools.

What Philip observed right away was how interactive, practical, and creative these sessions were, and how this vibrant, fun, engaging environment was sparking creativity among the students themselves. Not only are these young people developing a sense of belonging alongside vital life skills that will shape the trajectory of their futures; they're also using their talents to share this learning with their peers.

“Many things changed in my life as a result of what I learned in student wellbeing sessions, especially through the session on managing conflicts with restorative practices. I decided to use what I learned to help my parents resolve their conflicts.”

16 year old Ngabo* often felt overwhelmed by his challenging family situation, and struggled to concentrate in school, revise his lessons, or even sleep well. It was when he had the opportunity to attend social emotional learning sessions at school that he began to find the courage to help his family move forward. Using the tools he was building, Ngabo proactively guided his parents towards a healthier approach to conflict that is now impacting both their family life and his own ability to thrive.

Learn more about Ngabo, and partner with us to see thousands more students equipped with the courage and character they need to build a brighter future: wellspring.ngo/2026-spring/
