Full village-level granularity. Also: 5 provinces, 30 districts, 416 sectors, 2,148 cells.
We don't have a sprawling portfolio. We have two production projects that the community maintains, plus the client work that funds them and the AI work members are publishing as it matures. That's the honest picture.
A TypeScript library that gives you typed access to the country's administrative divisions — provinces, districts, sectors, cells, and villages. Built for developers who'd rather not scrape a PDF.

Honest figure from the npm registry. Modest, growing — used by teams in Rwanda and the diaspora.

Itegure is a web & USSD platform we built with the Rwanda Education Board in 2020, during COVID-19 school closures. The goal: keep parents in touch with their children's learning when schools couldn't.
Most Rwandan parents are reachable on feature phones. Itegure ships a USSD interface alongside a standard web app, in English, Kinyarwanda, and French.
Concept to deployment in weeks, not quarters — because the team understood the local context, the ministry constraints, and the technology that actually reaches Rwandan families.

The community's AI projects are still maturing. We list things here once they're real enough to use. Until then, the work happens in the open in #ai on WhatsApp — and you're welcome to join in.
A growing public scoreboard of how open LLMs handle Kinyarwanda — translation, summarisation, classification. The community runs the tests; results are shared.
