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.
