Ni Nyampinga: The voice of Rwandan girls

TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Diane Uwamahoro is a dentist at Remera Rukoma Hospital in Kamonyi district. She attributes her passion for sciences to Ni Nyampinga, a magazine dedicated to empowering girls.  Launched in 2011 by Girl Hub Rwanda, Ni Nyampinga is a platform for girls to learn, connect, and explore the opportunities around them.    “I read stories in the magazine in 2011 about how science is a field that girls should not shy away from and this gave me the confidence to take on such a challenge. It inspired me to study sciences and I’m now a dentist. The real life experiences portrayed in the magazine are inspiring,” Uwamahoro narrates.
