Education has the power to change lives. Every year hundreds of representatives from around the globe gathers at the eLearning Africa Conference to discuss, share ideas, collaborate, educate, and inform about the future of education throughout Africa. 2022 was no different. Delegates convened at the Kigali Convention Centre in Rwanda, with a special focus on ICT training and education. Alison, a proud sponsor of the event, was there to meet some of the learners who have completed various courses and find out how their lives have been empowered through access to free online learning. These are some of the graduate stories of how Alison is changing lives through eLearning in Kigali, Rwanda.
Lowami Umiwana
“Learning is the way to grow, and Alison provides a free way to do that.”
Lowami is a young gentleman whose passion and excitement were clear to see on his face. He said that before enrolling in Alison, he didn’t know the differences between software engineering and IT. But, though his studies, he developed his communication skills, and he has a better understanding of these differences between software engineers and IT technicians. He also learned how to communicate better with his team at work and provide them with what they need.
Mwaka Abdulkarim
Mwaka works as a gym instructor from Rwanda’s Ruyenzi Village. He shared his Alison story with us.
Janvier
“It was amazing to spend time with Alison.”
Javier came into the conference with an undergraduate degree already in the bag. However, he recognised the boost that studying additional courses and developing skills to amplify his degree. Mixed with his love for food, he studied hospitality and learned how to cook. These insightful courses were in HR, IT Management, Food Processing and Food and Safety Hygiene.
Innocent Karengera
“I hope to do more courses from Alison because they are interesting and at the same time, they are free.”
Meeting Innocent was a reminder to all of us that you are never too young or old to learn something new, and you are never too educated to. He holds a Masters degree but recognised that he needed additional skills in statistics and quality improvement to help him get closer to his dream of working as an independent consultant. Through Alison, he graduated with two additional diploma courses and two certificates.
