Welcome to Rwanda Parent’s Initiative on Autism
RPIA is an organization of parents and sympathizers formed to mitigate the autism challenge in Rwanda. It was established in 2015 with a global objective of promoting the establishment of social support mechanisms necessary for the social integration of children and adults with autism.
The organization was formed against a backdrop of lack of services for children with autism and limited understanding of autism by the community, education and health care providers.
Vision
A society where children and adults with autism are able to achieve their full potential and live a decent life.
Mission
