{{On Tuesday, Imbuto Foundation will hold the 4th edition of Celebrating Young Rwandan Achievers (CYRWA) Awards dinner at Serena Hotel Kigali under the theme “We are the ones we have been waiting for”. }}
The CYRWA event will see young Rwandan men and women with exceptional stories and accomplishments recognized by the First Lady of Rwanda.
Imbuto Foundation called on the general public to nominate young Rwandans who meet specific criteria.
The nominees must be Rwandans aged between 18 and 35 years, living in Rwanda or abroad; they must demonstrate vision, leadership qualities, excellence, creativity, initiative, integrity and positive values in their fields or professions; they must also show evidence of having provided service to their communities and devotion toward the development of Rwanda.
They must also inspire and motivate other youth to reach their full potential.
Prior to the awards dinner, a youth forum will take place led by a group of young brilliant panelists. The panelists will engage and inspire an audience of 200 young professionals to go above and beyond what is expected of them, in the professional and personal spheres.
The youth forum will be followed by the CYRWA awards ceremony and dinner where Mr. Ashish Thakkar, Africa’s youngest billionaire will feature as the Guest Speaker.
In 2007 the First Lady of Rwanda Mrs. Jeannette Kagame, through Imbuto Foundation, initiated the Youth Leadership and Mentorship Program. This program is three-fold, and consists of activities aimed at empowering Rwanda’s youth.
The Youth Leadership and Mentorship Program is divided into the Celebrating Young Rwandan Achievers (CYRWA) Awards, Youth Forum Series and Rwanda Speaks!
During the last 3 editions of CYRWA, 22 remarkable young Rwandan men and women were awarded for various achievements related to leadership, entrepreneurship, art, sciences and community mobilization.
