🇷🇼 Nurturing the Future of Athletics!

Today in Gicumbi District, young learners aged 7 to 12 from GS Kageyo and Kageyo TSS came together in an exciting atmosphere filled with energy, laughter, and the true spirit of sport.

As part of the World Athletics Kids Athletics Program, this event—organized by Rwanda Athletics Federation—gave the children a chance to run, jump, and throw in a fun and structured environment that builds physical literacy, teamwork, and confidence.

These moments of joy and discovery are at the heart of our mission: to introduce athletics at an early age and to spark the dreams of future champions.

👏 A big thank you to the teachers, coaches, and community members supporting these young athletes.
