Itetero is a Kinyarwanda name which stands for a comfortzone for children, where they are nurtured with love, compassion, and good example. Iwacu means “at home”. Itetero Iwacu Organization (IIO) is a nonprofit organization that helps vulnerable children to access a quality education (through Itetero Bright Academy); refine nutrition (through school feeding programs and community nutrition workshops); as well as taking action to spread awareness on public health. That includes but not limited to preventing or mitigating the effects of NCDs among children and adolescents, advocating for children living with NCDs or birth defects, as well as training young adults on reproductive and mental health.

In order to communicate all these activities and their impacts to the general public, we use our very own Smile Africa TV, and this helps us to influence the audience while triggering more actions from the audience.
