Your family's second home in Kigali.
Kigali's first space built entirely around your child's curiosity.

Somewhere worth exploring.
The Building Room. The Art Studio. The Sand Pit. Live Workshops. Toddler soft play. Nature play.
No screens. No worksheets. Materials you won't find anywhere else in Kigali — and the time to actually use them.
Somewhere to breathe while they explore.
Six-desk co-working space upstairs. Fast Wi-Fi. Good coffee from the café below.
Your children are with a trained team who knows their names. You're not wondering if everything is okay. You know it is.
The first of its kind. The beginning of something much bigger.
Akilah Club is the first chapter of the Rwanda Children's Museum — Africa's first children's museum designed by and for Africans.
Built in Kigali. Rooted in Rwandan culture. Yours.
Every room has a question. Every child has an answer.
Each space is built around a single provocation. The materials change. The child decides what happens next.
Can you build a bridge that holds ten books? The challenge on the wall changes every week — and there's no answer key.
Not crafts. Art. Clay, printmaking, charcoal, paint. Children's work is framed, displayed, and taken seriously. Because it should be.
A climbing frame, raised planting beds, and open sky. Designed for Kigali's weather — and open almost every day.
Every week, something new. Batik printing. Story kitchen. Rhythm labs. Science that gets messy. Visiting artists, makers, and storytellers who bring Kigali's creative community through our doors — and into your child's world.
A child-scale version of this city — a market stall, a clinic, a construction site. Every detail is Rwandan. Because your child lives here.
Deep. Shaded. Water nearby. The most underestimated learning space in any building — and the one children ask to return to most.
Register now. Shape what this becomes.
Akilah Club opens for after-school classes in May. Register your interest now and you'll hear about camp booking, class registration, and the Founding Families membership programme before anyone else.
Your child will come home with clay under their fingernails.
And an opinion about bridges. And a story you didn't expect.
Akilah Club was designed with some of the world's leading children's museum experts. Every space, every material, every session is built around one idea: children learn best when adults get out of the way.
We're not teaching children what to think. We're giving them somewhere to find out how.
6,000 students educated across East Africa.
Now we're building something for their children.
