About us

Umuduri band is a group of musicians and singers from Burundi who live in Rwanda as refugees. Our goal is to promote peace, reconciliation, and children’s rights through arts.

Our project aims at helping youth and refugees to discover and develop their talents by organizing cultural activities and artistic events.

What: an Art Space

To discover, develop, and engage children and youth in the culture of creativity, the Umuduri Band Initiative Organisation is going to open an Artspace in Kigali.

We believe that while everyone is born with talent, just a few people have a space to develop and show it. Thanks to this opportunity every child and youth who doesn`t get the chance to attend an Art school can explore their inner abilities.

The activities will include every form of art such as drawing, painting, singing, dancing, performing, and playing traditional or non-traditional instruments. The initiative’s name is “My Talent is my Wealth” because we believe that the development of young generations' talents could help them in their personal lives while promoting peace and a sense of community.
