The Maranyundo Initiative, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focused on improving education in Rwanda through the Maranyundo Girls School and other educational programs. Opened in 2008, the Maranyundo Girls School has become a leading middle- and high-school in Rwanda, delivering a STEM-focused curriculum to around 500 students annually, with about two-thirds on scholarships and more than 1,300 graduates. The organization aims to expand access to quality education across Rwanda by supporting additional schools and educational initiatives. Since 2020, it has extended support to 28 additional schools in Rwanda and is building a Training and Learning Center on its campus to broaden its impact. The organization has earned independent evaluation from Charity Navigator and collaborates with Tufts University's Center for Electrical Engineering and Outreach and the LEGO Foundation to train educators and develop hands-on learning spaces, while programs such as a student laptop initiative support hybrid learning.
