Our New Model
Akilah is focusing on the liberal arts and contemplative leadership.
We believe that true leadership extends beyond external achievements—it stems from inner wisdom, ethical integrity, and a profound sense of purpose.
Our mission is to educate wise leaders dedicated to the flourishing of all. True leadership arises from a deep connection to the divine and a commitment to serve others.
Akilah will offer a diverse range of bachelor’s degrees in the humanities and sciences, including philosophy, psychology, biology, physics, and literature.
Support Our Students
“I am so grateful for all of our supporters and partners who believe in Akilah’s mission and help us accomplish what we have set out to do, every day. I was first a student at Akilah, then a graduate, and a staff member. The Akilah community changed my life!”
Our Graduates
86% of our alumnae are employed within six months of graduating, and 89% of graduates are supporting at least one individual or family member financially.
From 2010-2024, Akilah was an accredited technical college in Kigali.
Today, we’re planning a permanent home outside the city.
Unlike our previous urban setting, this new campus will provide space for student housing, sports facilities, and an environment that supports personal and academic growth.
