Healing Through Hope: 1-Day Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village Tour

Step into a space of compassion, renewal, and empowerment on this 1-Day Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village Tour. Nestled in the heart of Rwamagana District, this unique community stands as a living symbol of Rwanda’s healing spirit — a place where orphans and vulnerable youth rebuild their lives through education, creativity, and shared purpose. “Agahozo” means “a place where tears are dried” in Kinyarwanda, while “Shalom” is Hebrew for “peace”. Together, they embody the philosophy of “Tikkun Olam” — repairing the world, the village’s guiding mission. This heartwarming experience invites you to explore how hope, learning, and community come together to shape a brighter future for Rwanda’s young generation.

Morning: Transfer to Rwamagana and Introduction to Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village
After breakfast, your Adventure in the Wild Safaris guide will pick you up from your hotel in Kigali and transfer you eastward to Rwamagana District, about an hour’s drive through scenic countryside. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the village staff and receive an introduction to Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV) — its inspiring history, vision, and the life-changing impact it has had since its founding. The tour begins with a guided walk through the village’s thoughtfully designed layout. Explore its residential houses, communal spaces, and educational facilities, all harmoniously built to foster unity and belonging. The serene gardens and tree-lined paths provide a peaceful environment that mirrors the village’s nurturing philosophy. You’ll also visit classrooms, interact with educators, and learn about ASYV’s comprehensive education model that emphasizes academic excellence, leadership development, and vocational training.

Midday: Community Lunch and Cultural Connection
At lunchtime, enjoy a community dining experience with staff and students. This shared meal is more than just lunch — it’s an opportunity to engage in open conversation, hear personal stories, and witness the strong sense of family that defines village life. The menu often features locally grown produce, reflecting the village’s sustainability initiatives and commitment to healthy living. After lunch, visit the community center, a lively hub for workshops, performances, and social gatherings. Here, you’ll gain insight into how the village promotes creativity, emotional healing, and cultural pride through its programs. Participate in interactive discussions or simply observe how the youth express their identity and aspirations in this safe and supportive space.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Afternoon: Arts, Crafts, and Creative Healing
In the afternoon, explore the arts and crafts center, where creativity becomes a pathway to recovery and expression. Walk through displays of handmade art pieces, sculptures, and crafts created by the students — each telling a personal story of resilience and transformation. You may even have the opportunity to join a hands-on art activity, painting or crafting alongside the young artists. This creative engagement provides a touching perspective on how artistic expression helps students heal from trauma and discover their potential. Before you leave, take a moment to stroll through the village gardens one last time, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and reflecting on the incredible work being done to nurture Rwanda’s next generation of leaders.
