Culture
Researching and promoting Rwandan practices, values, language, stories and ways of life.
It is what we understand, what we practice, what we create, and what we leave behind. RAMBA researches Rwandan culture and heritage, then turns it into experiences, stories, art and journeys you can walk into.
RAMBA Murage Mwiza Initiative is a Rwandan cultural and creative initiative dedicated to researching, preserving, expressing and promoting Rwandan culture and heritage through art, education, tourism, sports and community engagement.
We work from two kinds of sources. Oral: conversations with elders, testimonies, songs, proverbs and legends. Written: documents, archives, letters and reports that preserve our nation's true history.
Each one is a way of putting culture back into everyday use — from the dance floor to the classroom to the trail.
Researching and promoting Rwandan practices, values, language, stories and ways of life.
Documenting and interpreting tangible and intangible heritage for the generations ahead.
Music, storytelling, visual art and performance as ways to carry cultural ideas.
Experiences that let visitors discover Rwanda through its people, stories and landscapes.
Spaces where children learn culture and values, then put that knowledge to work.
Discipline, teamwork and healthy development alongside cultural learning.
Creative expression as an invitation to dialogue, respect and coexistence.
“Murage Mwiza”: leave a good legacy.
