About Umuri Academy
Holistic Development for Youth through Football and Education
At Umuri Academy, we go beyond technical training to offer a holistic development program for youth, particularly vulnerable children. Our mission is to use football as a platform to inspire young people, helping them avoid negative influences and realize their potential, both on and off the field. Through our program, we support participants in educational attainment, football coaching, and character development, nurturing a generation of talented male and female footballers who will positively impact Rwanda's future.
