About

Peer-led addiction recovery and prevention in Rwanda. We train people with lived recovery experience to support others, and have served 1,700+ people since 2017, 75% of them women and girls.

Mission. Our mission is to create purposeful, positive and addiction-free citizens towards enhancing self-sustainability and socioeconomic transformation in Rwanda. We do this through a peer-led model in which people with lived experience of recovery, our Purposeful Agents of Transformation, are trained to support others in their own communities.
