New Hope Technical Institute Rwanda

Our school offers three courses:
Dressmaking Course, Hairdressing & Beauty Course, and Culinary Arts Course.

In addition to one year of technical training, students also take part in workplace training at local companies.

When our school first opened, there were many challenges. Tension and trauma caused by ethnic conflict affected relationships between students and teachers.
However, by continuing to create a safe and welcoming learning environment, smiles have gradually returned to our students’ faces, and our school has become a calmer and more stable place to learn.

These photos show our students two months after enrollment.
In the Dressmaking Course, they are learning pattern-making.
In the Culinary Arts Course, they practice basic knife skills.
In the Hairdressing & Beauty Course, they learn braiding and hair-washing techniques.

The sparkle in their eyes tells us that learning itself is giving them strength and hope for the future.
