Imagine a world where every child grows up in a safe, healthy, and stimulating environment. That's the goal of Uburezi Iwacu (Homes and Communities) an initiative from Sesame Workshop and World Vision USA that's striving to meet the needs of children across Rwanda. Through innovative pre-primary and primary education, we're transforming home literacy environments and developing inclusive learning resources for children with disabilities, like videos created in Rwandan sign language (RSL)! #InternationalDayofSignLanguagesClick here to watch our full playlist of songs in RSL: m.sesame.org/RSL
