About us

Rwandan Youth Information Community Organisation (rYico) is a charitable organisation that works to support and empower vulnerable young people in Rwanda.

In 2005 it established Centre Marembo, a youth resource centre based in Kigali which primarily supports young people who have been orphaned, neglected or left in very difficult conditions, particularly as a result of the 1994 genocide. To find out more about Centre Marembo, click here...

rYico also aims to increase social and cultural understanding about Rwanda within the UK through cultural exchange and education. For more information about rYico's activities in the UK, click here...
