TL Rwanda Conference Centre inaugurated in Musanze #rwanda #RwOT

Inaugurated on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, the center aims to equip religious leaders, women, and youth with skills to enhance their economic development and create lasting impact in their communities.

The initiative was led by Dr. Faustin Ntamushobora, a Rwandan who has lived in the United States. He is also the CEO of Transformation Leadership in Africa, an organization based in California with operations in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Rwanda.

Dr. Ntamushobora shared that the idea for the center was born out of a realization that while churches focus on spiritual teachings, they often overlook the importance of educating people on community development and improving their livelihoods.

"We aim to train leaders to not only preach but also foster economic empowerment. We have specific programs for women to help them initiate projects that will support their families," Dr. Ntamushobora said in an interview with IGIHE.

The center also has a youth and children's project that provides training and financial support to help them thrive.

Additionally, Dr. Ntamushobora revealed plans to establish a university at the center, stating, "We want Rwandans and Africans to access knowledge and technology while upholding values of faith and community. Our vision is to develop individuals with a strong sense of purpose and contribution to society."

He extended his appreciation to the Rwandan government for its continued support and encouraged local communities to join the efforts in fostering development through the center's initiatives.

Northern Province Governor Maurice Mugabowagahunde lauded the vision of the center, emphasizing its potential to transform lives. He pledged ongoing support to help the center achieve its objectives.

"We value this initiative, as it aligns with our mission to improve the well-being of our citizens. We will continue working with the center's founders to ensure the goals are fully realized," he said.

According to the 2022 national population census, Rwanda has a population of 13,246,394, with 48.5% male and 51.5% female. Over 65% of the population comprises youth, underscoring the significance of the government's focus on programs that support women and youth development.

The TL Rwanda Conference Centre aims to equip religious leaders, women, and youth with skills to enhance their economic development and create lasting impact in their communities.
