At 1000 Hills Rugby, we believe that sport is more than just a game it's a powerful tool for change.
That's why we are proud to announce that we have joined the Sport for Education and Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa (SESLA) program, a groundbreaking initiative that uses sport to empower young people across the continent.

A Game-Changing Partnership
Backed by AFD (Agence Française de Développement), IOC (International Olympic Committee), and Laureus Sport for Good, SESLA is designed to create pathways for education, employment, and leadership through sport. With 1 in 4 young people in Africa out of formal education or work, this initiative provides real opportunities for youth to build a better future.
Through SESLA, 1000 Hills Rugby will gain access to:
✅ Grant funding to expand our rugby and education programs
✅ Training & mentorship to develop the next generation of leaders
✅ Career & skills development to ensure life beyond rugby
✅ Research & peer learning to strengthen our impact

Beyond Rugby: Building Futures
For years, 1000 Hills Rugby has been more than just a team we are a movement. We’ve used rugby to instill values of discipline, teamwork, and resilience, while also ensuring that our athletes have access to education and career opportunities after their playing days.
This partnership with SESLA will amplify our impact, helping us bridge the gap between sport and sustainable livelihoods. Whether it’s through scholarships, vocational training, or mentorship programs, we are committed to empowering young Rwandans both on and off the field.
Join Us on This Journey!
We are excited to embark on this next chapter with
SESLA, AFD, IOC, and Laureus Sport for Good as we continue to shape the future of youth in Rwanda through rugby.
Stay connected for updates, success stories, and ways to get involved! Together, we are creating a legacy that goes far beyond the game.
