Raising Up Future Innovators of Rwanda
We hope to plant seeds of innovation and entrepreneurship in our students so that they contribute to the development of Rwanda.
If you ask the VVA primary and secondary students what the highlight of the year has been for them so far, most likely someone will mention our field trip to the Winnaz Potato Chips factory.
Winnaz is a local start-up that is producing high-quality potato chips right here in Musanze. Our students were able to visit the factory and learn about how locally grown potatoes are transformed into delicious chips.
At the end of the visit, workers from the factory brought out several platters piled high with chips that our students quickly made disappear!
There was a purpose to this trip beyond an enjoyable outing and filling our student’s bellies with potato chips. We wanted to show our students that products like potato chips, which are often imported from other countries, can actually be produced in Rwanda using local materials.
We hope to plant seeds of innovation and entrepreneurship in our students so that they contribute to the development of Rwanda.
We believe VVA students will be among the future leaders of Rwanda and are excited to see the contributions they will make!
