Rwanda Youth Music

This project, Rwanda Youth Music, will address the needs of hundreds of HIV+ children and youth from WE-ACTx Youth Program (read below).

- The Music Program -
The primary goal of Rwanda Youth Music is to train HIV+ Rwandan youth to become music workshop leaders in ongoing weekly programs run by WE-ACTx for hundreds of HIV+ children in Kigali. This strategy will build local capacity so that skills remain embedded in the region - and the music continues to sound - after the initial project ends.

The content and structure Rwanda Youth Music will be based on Musicians without Borders' Music Workshop Leaders module. The curriculum and schedule will be modified to address local needs, to include cultural and musical traditions, and to incorporate voice training and song-writing classes co-led by local Rwandan musicians.
