Yesterday, we were honored to welcome Emmanuel from for a special wellness session at IRC. 🧘‍♂️💚

Many of our team members are in recovery from substance addiction, and moments like this play a powerful role in the healing journey. Through yoga, we’re not just stretching our bodies—we’re building mental clarity, emotional strength, and a more positive mindset.

Wellness practices like these help improve brain readiness, decision-making, and overall wellbeing—for those in recovery and for staff alike.

Thank you, Emmanuel, for your time, care, and support. 💪

At IRC, agriculture brings hope through occupational therapy, where people engage in what they love. We've planted various vegetables, now it's harvest time,truly a joyful mystery!

In the occupational approach, we focus on promoting the cultivation of essential crops, such as fruits and vegetables, in Agriculture. Through group sessions, our beneficiaries are educated on the harmful effects of alcohol abuse, a prevalent issue that severely impacts individuals in the villages. Many thanks to Live Well Rwanda for helping in implementing the project.
