Rwanda Stories

They applauded when I finished speaking at the United Nations. They called me brave. They called me powerful. They did not know the girl I used to be. Born in Lagos to a Rwandan father and a Burundian mother, I grew up learning one lesson early: being female is not neutral. From Lagos to Kaduna to Kano, the geography changed, but the violence did not. Men touched what was not theirs. Silence was sold to me as protection. Shame was offered as survival. This is a story of a girl who was assaulted more times than she can count the letters of her name but refused to disappear. The Gender In Me is a raw, intimate novel blending experience and fiction to expose gender based violence, stolen childhoods, and the cost of silence. It is also a story of becoming, rising from anonymity to global advocacy. from fear to voice. from pain to purpose. This book is for the girls who were told not to talk. For the women who learned to survive quietly. For anyone who believes truth, once spoken, can change everything.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure reminds us that Africa's progress won't come from waiting for change, it will come from creating it. Aline and Eric's story mirrors the spirit of Rwanda, a nation that rose from ashes to become a beacon of innovation. Their invention, Ikizere (Hope), isn't just a bike, it's a symbol of what happens when young Africans use creativity to solve local problems. Across Africa, youth are building solar panels from scrap, coding apps in small towns, and designing machines that make life easier for their communities. That is the real meaning of SDG 9. Not just building infrastructure, but building a mindset of innovation that is proudly African. At Youth4Youth Africa, we believe in stories that reflect our strength, our roots, and our imagination. Because when young people dream with purpose, they don't just follow the SDGs they redefine them for Africa.

This is my first story if you see any error you can tell me

Sarah learned to live with her pain by hiding it. But guilt has a way of complicating everything friendships, choices, love. When someone enters her quiet world, she wants to escape before he gets too close. not because she doesn't feel, but because she feels too much. Sometimes healing starts where we least expect it.

An impactful quote I came across just recently; "Why is it that people remember Rwanda as an event more than a country?" -J. Clarkson Hit the nail on the head, so I put this freeform poem together. Enjoy.

When I was young I used to go to church every Sunday, At 12 years old I was a member of a choir of mature people. Some of my friends were harassing me telling me am not expected to be a choir singer because my face doesn't match.

Rwanda, as a teen met a boy who despised him. They both were from different backgrounds but despite all of these problems something connected them together. Rwanda discovered a new feeling "true love", when he met the boy once again in the streets of England. Manga: From the red fog Author: Mosae Nohara I suggest y'all to read the manga since it is really good and I love the art style. Just a reminder to search up the trigger warning before reading the manga or this fanfic since it might contain triggering things. Y'all can message me any scenarios you would love to be included in this mediocre fanfic. Any scenarios except smut, highly graphic gore, etc.
