Building on the success of the Masaka Model ECD & Family Centre in @KicukiroDistr , the newly inaugurated Kinyinya Centre is the second Model ECD Centre established through a partnership with @MountKigaliUni and @Rwanda_Child. More than beautiful infrastructure, these Centres are designed to give children the best possible start - nurturing foundational skills, curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving from an early age.
