*THROWBACK EPISODE*
This conversation with Evas Kyomugisha was originally released on October 15, 2020. We are re-releasing it today to bring attention to the great work being done at her center, Silver Bells in Rwanda.

Discover what’s possible when stigma is shattered by courage.
Evas Kyomugisha is the founder and owner of Silver Bells, an autism center in Kigali, Rwanda. Silver Bells offers comprehensive services for families, including Applied Behavior Analysis, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Music Therapy.
The Global Autism Project partnered with Silver Bells in April 2019. We have since sent two SkillCorps volunteer teams to provide hands-on training to their staff.
In today’s conversation, we discuss:
The stigma around autism in Rwanda
The lack of services in her community
Having to turn away families who cannot afford to pay for services
Rwanda’s progress in social reform since the genocide in 1994
What Evas has learned from working with autistic children
How she leads her multidisciplinary team
How the COVID-19 crisis has affected services at her center
