The main objective of TRIP NGO is to develop rural areas. This won't happen without quality and inclusive education in rural areas. TRIP founded a project called "TWONGERE UBUMENYI PROJECT", which aims to educate children and youth for rural sustainable development.

The idea of this project rose after identifying that in rural areas a significant number of children from poor and vulnerable families despite their good school performance, they couldn’t afford to study in excellent schools. Responding to this challenge, TRIP mobilized goodwill individuals who provided funds to support talented children from poor families.

On 30^th September 2022, TRIP selected 6 students who fulfilled the requirements including 3 from Primary cycle joining the 1^st year of secondary (1 female and 2 males) and 3 from Ordinary Level secondary cycle (1 female and 2 males). This activity took place at the office of Rwaza Sector, Musanze District and was held by competent TRIP staff members and Rwaza Sector Executive Secretariat Officers.
