Introduction
Access to inclusive and equitable quality education is essential for sustainable human development in Rwanda. The BK Foundation is committed to addressing the barriers faced by children with disabilities and marginalized backgrounds, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Rationale for Inclusive Education
Despite substantial efforts to expand educational access, many children encounter obstacles that hinder their learning outcomes. These barriers include inadequate infrastructure and insufficient training for teachers in inclusive practices. Moreover, persistent stigma continues to marginalize these vulnerable groups. By focusing on inclusive education, Rwanda aims to meet its national education goals and fulfill Sustainable Development Goal 4, promoting lifelong learning for all.
BK Foundation’s Commitment
Established in 2023 as the social investment arm of BK Group PLC, the BK Foundation has made it its mission to empower learners through quality education. Our initiative looks to collaborate with organizations that specialize in inclusive education, aiming to enhance participation for children with disabilities. Applications for this grant are open until October 31, 2025, and we encourage all eligible organizations to visit our website for more details.
