Green Horizon Ventures Joins Unique & United to Empower Rwandan Youth and Educators To Engage in the Arts
Creative Visions has chosen Green Horizon Ventures to receive a grant to support the expansion of youth empowerment initiatives as part of the Students Rebuild Unique & United project. This funding will deepen Green Horizon Ventures’ work with Rwandan youth – who are unlocking the true power of the arts.
Students Rebuild’s Unique & United initiative invites young people worldwide to explore identity, celebrate differences, and take creative action for a more united world. Each act of creativity or student engaged sparks a $5 donation from Creative Visions—with support from the Bezos Family Foundation—for organizations like Green Horizon Ventures that foster connection and champion collaborative change. Through June 1, 2026, students, youth leaders, parents, and educators can sign up at www.studentsrebuild.org to access free resources, lesson plans, and creative toolkits, and submit original works in any medium.
“Unique & United helps young people explore the shared humanity between individuals, cultures, and communities and discover how understanding different perspectives can positively impact the world,” says Pat Chandler, CEO of Creative Visions. “We’re proud to support Green Horizon Ventures’ youth-focused efforts that foster connection and build bridges across differences.”
Green Horizon Ventures—headquartered in Rwanda— is dedicated to creating sustainable solutions to global challenges, enhancing community well-being, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Through the grant from Creative Visions, Green Horizon Ventures will expand their work engaging youth throughout Rwanda in Students Rebuild programming and collaborating with universities and other institutions to make materials more readily available. By partnering with schools, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Youth and Arts, local government, Youth Centers, and independent artists, Green Horizon Ventures aims to reach thousands of youth and create a sustainable impact.
Green Horizon Ventures joins 10 other global organizations, including Choose Love, CARE, Kids for Peace, Homeboy Industries, Narrative 4, Open Roads, Ripples of Hope, Search for Common Ground, TREEAMS, and Welcoming America, to receive grants through the Unique and United Project.
