Hello everyone,
My name is Charles Anyama, Founding Executive Director of Purpose Rwanda, a peer-led addiction recovery and prevention organization based in Kigali, Rwanda. I am a Ugandan national and currently pursuing a PhD at the Open University of Tanzania.
Our work centers on the Purposeful Agent of Transformation (PAT) model, training people with lived experience of addiction recovery to walk alongside others in their communities, which has achieved a 70% sustained recovery rate across five districts in Rwanda.
I look forward to connecting with everyone here, sharing our experience where relevant, and learning from this community's collective expertise.
Individually Weaker, Collectively Stronger.
