Hi everyone

My husband and I are considering a move to Kigali this summer and have 2 young children aged 1 and 2. I'm looking for information on how safe it is to go out and about with young children and what activities are available for pre-schoolers and their mums!!! I need plenty of social interaction! Also any feedback on the international schools would be great.

thanks

This is really helpful. I wasn't sure about bringing young children to Kigali but it seems it's possible! I am going to be doing some research in Rwanda, likely Kigali over the next couple of years and am also going to be starting a family at the same time. I had been a bit worried about how compatible these 2 goals were but I'm glad to hear that others are doing it successfully! Thanks!
