After 1994 genocide against TUTSI, there were many people who were not able to study or complete their studies: some were outside of the country, others were former combatants of the liberation war, others became orphans and missed support to continue their studies on time as children chiefs of families who had to look after their young brothers and sisters,… All these were among the reasons that pushed CLUB-SPIC to set up the program that aims at helping all those people to be coached and sit for National examinations as private candidates.
These are mostly people responsible for their families who study in the evening after service hour that is from 5:30pm-8:50pm from Monday up to Friday and Saturday from 8:00am.

They can read bibles, newspapers and know what is going on in the world. They can read and get driving license which has transformed their lives as most of them have become professional drivers. .
4. Pupils and students in holidays program
Nowadays, many parents are not at home all the time to take care of their children. Because of this, many children spend all their time in front of the television screens watching movies and most of the time not educational ones. Many others spend the whole day walking and visiting friends who are not most of the time good ones.
To give their contribution to the solution of the problem, CLUB-SPIC set up the program that helps children in long holidays. The children are helped to have good holidays combined with education through plays, debates, conversations that help the students to develop positive values, good ways of behaving and develop their different talents.
CLUB-SPIC and his students join other Rwandans in activities of commemoration of 1994 Genocide against TUTSI. The action took place at Gisozi memorial site.
