Program areas at B2R
For over 13 years, isomo, formerly the b2r scholars program, has helped prepare the most talented high school students from rwanda, burundi, the democratic republic of congo, and south sudan to compete and win international scholarships to the best universities in the us and around the world. Since 2011, b2r has helped over 500 students earn over $125 million in international scholarships from over 100 world class universities around the world. To continue our expansion from helping 30-40 students a year prior to 2021 and adding the isomo academy for 80-100 students a year in 2022, in 2023 we advanced into an additional pilot program with the ministry of education to work with 100 teacher training college graduates and increased our footprint to include over 200 students from 12 different secondary schools in our isomo circles program. These additions have grown us to help prepare students and for those students to become lifetime learners equipped with the skills to succeed well beyond secondary school.

Growing on our progress in 2022 of providing fff training to almost 1000 government agronomists and champion farmers in partnership with the government of rwanda, in 2023 we expanded our training and established a support system for trained farmers, including site visits and a call center that reaches out to trained farmers daily. We are expanding and growing the capacity of our trainers and establishing our team within communities to continue our commitment to bringing these conservation agriculture practices deeper and deeper into rwanda's agriculture sector.
