to Educate

To form the spirit, to develop its intellectual
and physical capacities

Reports

In addition to the educational dimension of judo and to the use of this support in order to look for a way of living together, we want to transmit strong human values. Thus, Turikumwe is addressed directly to schools, to support them in their step of accessing to education and knowledge.

Indeed, the contacts tied in 2006 were fertile in teaching, and in particular made possible to realize that the right to education of the children is not exerted. And one can deplore that it is the case everywhere in the same way and under the same conditions.

We wished to work, in Burundi, to promote the access to education, and as judo specialist, we want to do that through sport.
