IRS990/Desc0Kepler launched in Kigali, Rwanda with a higher education program that allowed students to access a high quality university experience through a combination of in person, online and on the job experiences. Students attend classes on campus in Kigali, earn an American online degree through our partnership with Southern New Hampshire University and receive career preparation and support throughout the program. Kepler uses technology for a blended learning experience on campus and provides students coaching through the online learning experience. The program began with 50 students in 2014 and currently serves nearly 600 students on its Kigali campus. Students also have access to a dormitory, a living stipend and healthcare support. Over 90% of graduates are employed in meaningful jobs within 6 months or less of graduation.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In 2015, Kepler established a second campus at the Kiziba refugee camp in Western Rwanda. The project began with 25 students and currently has more than 120 students. The campus operates inside the camp in partnership with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the Rwandan government. Students who attend classes on campus in Kiziba earn an American online degree through our partnership with Southern New Hampshire University and receive career preparation and support throughout the program. Unlike the Kigali program, students live in the camp and staff travel to the camp from a nearby town. All students receive full scholarships to participate in the program.
