Our story

Children at the heart. Evidence at the centre.

Introducing Golden Child Institute: a growing initiative focused on learning, wellbeing and opportunity for children and young people.

What drives us

More than learning materials.

Building on GCI’s experience with storybooks, puzzles and learning resources, Golden Child Institute is broadening its focus to the whole child: social and emotional skills, positive relationships, wellbeing, classroom engagement and school success.

We aim to work in partnership with schools, families, educators, researchers and community organisations, adapting evidence to the realities and strengths of Rwanda.
