Last night, we celebrated more than an airlift. We celebrated dreams taking flight, opportunities unlocked and a new generation of African leaders stepping into their future.
To the 32 scholars of ELP Cohort 5: may you go forth with courage, humility and purpose. Learn. Lead. Shine. And lift others as you rise.
Congratulations on this remarkable milestone. Your journey has only just begun.

“Don’t forget your identity. Wherever you go, remember that you carry Rwanda with you.”
As the 32 scholars embark on their global journeys, Evelyn calls on them to remain anchored in humility, integrity, resilience, service and hard work and to bring back the knowledge and skills they gain to help transform Africa.
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. You have got the opportunity.” - Evelyn Rutagwenda, EGF-Rwanda Council Member

“We are not merely sending students to universities around the world. We are investing in their future.”
@bamloyce84 reminds us that behind every scholarship is a much bigger vision: to nurture young Africans who will become innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers and leaders, equipped with the knowledge, skills, networks and global exposure to solve complex challenges and drive sustainable development.
Today’s 32 scholars are not simply beginning university journeys. They are beginning a new chapter in their journey to lead and create impact.

“Equity Leaders Program chose me, believed in me, and invested in my potential before I could even prove my worth.”
ELP alumna Carine Niyigena reflects on how her journey transformed from a high school graduate into a confident young professional. During her internship at Nyarugenge Branch, she mobilized 715+ accounts, issued 350 instant cards and marketed 250 premium cards.
ELP didn’t just give her an opportunity,it gave her the confidence to step beyond her comfort zone and grow.

The 1st HOME to renovate is your BODY
The science is simple: most chronic diseases are largely preventable through healthy daily habits:
- Move 1 hr/day (or 10,000 steps)
- Eat mostly whole foods
- Sleep 7-9hrs- aim for bed before 10pm
- Drink 2–3L of water
- Get outside daily
“AquaLife is more than a financing product, it is a catalyst for expanding access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene across Rwanda.”
Speaking at today’s launch, @bamloyce84 , Executive Secretary of Equity Group Foundation–Rwanda, highlighted how innovative financing can improve lives while accelerating access to essential WASH services.

“Our ambition is to facilitate access to clean water for at least 5,000 households over the next five years.”
@bamloyce84 underscored that achieving this vision will require strong partnerships between government, development partners, the private sector and communities themselves. Making safe water more affordable and accessible for all.

On 23rd June 2026, @AGRA_Africa and @RwEquityBank signed a strategic partnership to expand digital financing for youth and women-led agribusinesses across Rwanda.
Signed by AGRA Rwanda Country Director @JP_Ndagijimana1 and Equity Bank Rwanda MD @HanningtonNama2, the partnership will provide tailored financial products, digital wallets, mentorship, financial literacy, and business development support to agripreneurs across key value chains including horticulture, poultry, maize, beans, Irish potatoes, and avocado.
The initiative targets key structural gaps: agriculture contributes 21% of Rwanda’s GDP and supports over 65% of livelihoods, yet receives only 6% of commercial bank lending. At the same time, 67% of Rwanda’s population is under 30, while only 18% of youth entrepreneurs and 15% of women entrepreneurs are formally served by banks.
