Creating Lasting Change
Discover how the Transformational Leadership Center (TLC) empowers individuals, families, and communities through innovative programs that promote peacebuilding, leadership development, education, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience. Our work is rooted in the belief that lasting transformation begins with empowered people and collaborative action.
Peace & Education
The Children’s Peace Libraries were created in response to Rwanda’s post-genocide need for healing, empathy, and peacebuilding. The program combines reading, guided discussions, social-emotional learning, and conflict resolution training, helping children become confident readers and compassionate leaders.
Leadership Empowerment
TLC develops ethical, responsible, and visionary leaders committed to building peaceful and resilient communities. Local leaders train in good governance, community leadership, and organizational development. In Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshops, participants learn nonviolent conflict resolution through interactive exercises, dialogue, and reflection.
Digital Empowerment
TLC prepares children for the digital world while fostering leadership and creativity. Through online reading, debates, research skills, and digital learning platforms, children build knowledge and critical thinking, and learn to apply digital skills for learning, leadership, and community impact.
Community Mobilization for Poverty Reduction & Climate Resilience
TLC empowers communities to improve livelihoods, food security, and climate resilience. In Gicumbi District, programs include conservation agriculture, village savings and loan associations, small livestock distribution, clean water access, and gender-based violence awareness, while youth train as guardians of the environment through tree planting and sustainable practices.
