What do we do?

FoRR focuses on teaching rugby to children and young adults in schools and communities across Rwanda.  Through our rugby development officers Friends of Rwandan Rugby is able to facilitate the implementation and growth of rugby in primary and secondary schools nation-wide.  Our Rwandan programme  manager, Kamanda Tharcisse, has recently been elected as President of the Federation of Rwandan Rugby. This provides a valuable opportunity to coordinate our work in schools with that of the Rwanda Rugby Federation’s efforts to grow the game.

We are working hard to put in place an infrastructure to support school rugby’s growth by empowering teachers with knowledge & the skills to deliver rugby activities. FoRR is concentrated on the development of grass roots rugby in rural areas as we believe that by providing access to thousands of children all over the nation it will ensure there are young and talented players coming up through the system into the rapidly expanding club sides and beyond.
