The Akilah Institute for Women opened its first campus in January 2010. Akilah offers a two-year Business Diploma with a focus in Hospitality Management or Entrepreneurship. Akilah’s unique transformational education model includes community service, private sector partnerships, mentoring, and career development. We will celebrate our first graduating class in August 2012.
Plans to open a 90 acre campus on the shores of Lake Cyohoa in Bugesera are underway, with a targeted opening date of September 2013.






“I believe in that future because Akilah helped me believe in it. Because of Akilah, I will be the one to help my family and even my country.”
