A Warm Welcome to Our New Interns, Tereza and Markéta!
We are thrilled to welcome Tereza and Markéta from the University of Ostrava, @ostravska_uni @fakulta_umeni_ou who will be staying with us at Talking Through Art for the next month! As students of art and pedagogy, they’ll be engaging in a range of activities, including teaching English and helping our women artisans improve their conversational skills.
In addition to their teaching work, they will contribute to the development of our upcoming gallery book and document the incredible work of Talking Through Art in the villages. They'll also lend a hand with cooking and other day-to-day activities, ensuring a rich, well-rounded experience.
We’re excited to have them as part of our team and can’t wait to see the impact they will make!

Each piece is a symbol of hope and empowerment, just like the bright future we envision for children like Lucky. 🦋 #EmpowermentThroughArt #HandcraftedWithLove #TalkingThroughArt"

Yesterday was both an emotional and joyous day for our organization. One of our former students, Edmund, who had been supported by us a few years ago, had gone missing for some time. We recently discovered that he left his home due to feeling uncomfortable, as he wasn't living with his parents. Unfortunately, this led him to live on the streets. Over the years, we received occasional updates about him but were unable to help him leave the streets.
Yesterday, Edmund walked into our organization, well-dressed and full of hope. He asked if he could return to school. Seeing him brought tears to my eyes, and I immediately video-called a friend who had previously supported him. We were both overjoyed to see Edmund again and are committed to helping him start school once more. I offered him full support, assuring him that he always has a place with us—a family he can turn to.
Our organization currently supports 25 children of parents with disabilities, providing them with the educational opportunities they deserve. If anyone wishes to support our children with school fees, please contact us via email at info@talkingthroughart.org. We will gladly share more about the children who are still waiting for support. The fee is $25 a month for primary school and $30 a month for secondary and boarding school. This includes all necessary school materials, uniforms, and everything needed to start their educational journey. -

Our Talking Through Art Walking Tour offers an authentic fun, informative and uniquely personal insight into the culture, history, and daily life of Gikondo. You will have the opportunity to explore some of the hidden areas of our local community, immersing yourself in Rwandan Culture and daily life in this bustling and vibrant area of Kigali. Your Walking Tour will be led by a local guide who has lived and worked in Gikondo all his life and is a wealth of interesting information!
Our Walking Tour begins at Talking Through Art with a traditional snack and an introduction to the history of the centre and the work we do here. Our tour will weave through the back streets of our local neighborhood, Rujugiro, and we will take you to some of the highest vantage points overlooking Nyamirambo, the oldest part of Kigali, as well as lookouts with clear views of Mount Rebero and Mount Kigali where you will enjoy beautiful vistas and have time to take photographs.
We will lead you into one of the bustling traditional neighborhood street markets where you will be able to explore fresh local produce and enjoy the lively atmosphere. We will stop for a delicious freshly cooked sambusa snack and take a break at a nearby milk shop where you can try chilled ikivuguto, a traditional Rwandan beverage.
Our tour will continue through the backstreets to Gikondo central market where you will be able to experience local tailors, fabric stalls, fruit and vegetable stalls and enjoy Gikondo’s local customs and vibrant everyday life.
You are very welcome to stay and share a traditional lunch with us and we’d love you to enjoy the afternoon at the centre and learn how to weave a traditional Rwandan basket, which you can then take home with you.
