Program Overview
Program Overview
Path to the Future 2026 is now more ambitious and inclusive than ever. In partnership with Acting Globally, a U.S.-based nonprofit, this cross-border initiative brings together exceptionally gifted students from Eastern DRC and Western Rwanda, particularly those living in fragile, conflict-affected border communities, to learn and grow together.
We believe education can do more than prepare students for university — it can ignite social change, foster peace, and transform entire communities.
Our program is designed to address the systemic barriers that limit access to global opportunities — from language gaps to lack of information, mentorship, and financial support — and provide students with the tools to compete for and secure fully funded international university scholarships.
What We Offer

University & Scholarship Preparation – Tailored guidance on SAT, TOEFL, essay writing, and application processes.
Cross-Border Cultural Exchange – Rwandan and Congolese students learn and live together, fostering mutual understanding, healing, and peacebuilding.

This initiative is made possible through our strategic partnership with Acting Globally, a U.S.-based organization committed to empowering grassroots peacebuilders and educational leaders.
