Starlight Africa

Happy Heroes Day🇷🇼
Because of their courage, we have a nation.
Because of their sacrifice, we have a future.
Today, we honor heroes whose bravery wrote Rwanda’s story and whose legacy calls us to stand for unity, dignity, and hope.

Meet Iteka Allegria

One of our Starlight alumni from 2019 and part of our very first cohort at Gihogwe Secondary School.

Allegria has always been curious, bright, and full of potential. After graduating from high school and completing the Starlight program, she went on to do amazing things. Last year, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Washington, where she studied Economics, and is now interning with her university’s research team, working with data and preparing for the next chapter in higher education.

This is what growth looks like. This is what believing in girls looks like.
We’re so proud of you, Allegria. Starting the year with wins celebrated and celebrating with you today!

Thank you for supporting our mission. Onward to greater impact in 2026.

We’re grateful for everything we were able to build together: the new schools we partnered with, Starlight Clubs launched, the brilliant consultants we worked alongside, and the support we received from near and far.

We’re excited for what’s ahead.
Happy New Year!

From all of us at Starlight Africa, wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a wonderful festive season.

Discover your potential. Dream beyond limits. Develop the future. These are the guiding mottos we encourage our girls to live by every day. They don’t just change their own lives; they transform their communities and lead lasting change.
