Arise Bookshop wishes all Rwandans a joyful and meaningful Independence Day! 📚

Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and vision that birthed our nation’s freedom.

As President Paul Kagame once said: “Africa’s story has been written by others; we need to own our problems and solutions and write our story.”

At Arise, we believe every book read, every story told, and every young mind inspired is part of writing that story.

📖 This afternoon, we’ll be open to welcome you— for quiet reading, thoughtful reflection, or discovering your next favorite book.

Come celebrate the freedom to think, dream, and rise.

Every Friday, something special happens at Arise Bookshop...
Children gather, books in hand, hearts open, and imaginations ready to take flight. 📚✨

In a world filled with distractions, has become more than a moment—it's a movement. A chance to press pause and nurture creativity, curiosity, and a deep love for reading.

We’ve seen it firsthand—children flipping through pages, reading aloud, laughing at stories, and asking big questions. It’s in these quiet, joyful moments that futures are shaped.

Because when a child falls in love with reading, they begin to dream differently. They begin to think, imagine, and grow beyond their immediate world.

Fridays at Arise are about more than books. They’re about building a culture that values reflection, learning, and the boundless power of imagination.

📖 Join the movement. Make space for reading. Let’s raise a generation that loves books and lives with vision.
