2025 Anca Plan ADRIEN NIYONSHUTI CYCLING ACADEMY (ANCA) +39 328 401 2712 +250 783 674 945 www.acyclingacademy.org [email protected] Twitter​ ​Facebook​ ​Instagram Rwamagana, Rwanda 2025 ANCA PLAN ]\ Introduction We are the Adrien Niyonshuti Cycling Academy and proud educators of young cyclists in Rwanda. Adrien was the first Rwandan professional cyclist and now willing to help the youngsters in his country to give them the opportunity he was given, like riding at the Olympics in 2012. Therefore he started the Academy and over the last six years we have helped dozens of kids to enjoy and perform in cycling at every level. This plan describes how we want to get to the next level of training our future generation of cyclists in Rwanda. “I achieved much in the cycling world because someone somewhere gave me a helping hand.” Adrien Niyonshuti Our Vision 2025 The ANCA is committed to raise the future generation of Rwandan cyclists. We want to educate riders, both girls and boys, so they will be able to compete at the highest level in Rwanda and abroad. And to help them to grow to the continental level of cycling in five years with our team. In 2025 we will have girls and boys from our academy competing in the UCI World Championships which hopefully will be held in our country. In five years we will grow from an academy of 10 riders now to 25 riders in 25. “25 in 25!” The academy will be self sufficient in five years by building our cycling tourism company that creates employment for our (former) riders. The revenues of tourism will be used directly for the academy, as its own circle of life. 1 ]\ Our core values Teamwork, discipline sportsmanship, enjoyment About us In 2012 Adrien Niyonshuti became the first Rwandan Cyclist to qualify and ​ compete for his country in the Olympic Games. Adrien’s story captured the hearts of Rwandans at home and abroad as a symbol of pride and hope for a new Rwanda. His personal story was magnified by the fact he had lost 60 of his family members including six of his brothers in the 1994 genocide. His journey, along with his teammates from Team Rwanda, into the world of professional cycling, was documented in the award-winning 2012 documentary Rising From Ashes. Soon after the 2012 London Olympic Games Adrien immediately felt he wanted to offer the chance for young people in his country to experience the power of cycling. He tried to instill hope and values to the next generations. The Academy idea was born, and the first location chosen was Adrien's hometown of Rwamagana. Along with support from the Rwandan Cycling Federation, Team Rwanda and the Rising from Ashes Foundation the academy officially launched in August 2013. 2 ]\ Our business How do we work? At the academy we have a monthly program with daily businesses, which are based on 5 principles: - Cycling training o We will find coaches and create training programmes based on European knowledge. - Education o English o Communication o We will hire a teacher to improve these skills - Nutrition o Healthy food will be provided by the academy by buying a plot of land and grow our own vegetables. - Housing o We are renting a team house where the riders can stay. - Racing o We will connect with organisers of races in Rwanda and abroad to learn and improve cycling skills. o Our strategic priorities To present our academy to the outside world we have these strategic priorities that we will continue to grow over the next five years: - Strong relationships - Increase revenue from cycling and tourism - Cycling for everyone - Securing success Action plan How are we going to reach these priorities? •Strong relationships 3 ]\ •Create partnerships •Invite sponsors •Help building bike factory •Increase revenue •Grow our cycling company The Global Riders •Educate guides •Build tourism programs •Cycling for everyone •Organise races for recruitment •teach children how to ride •Securing success •Riders of the past are coaches of the future •Creating duos of experienced and new riders •Organise cycling necessities Improve coaching by contracting a coach and a motorbike for trainings GOALS In 2020 we are committed to raising another generation of Rwandan cyclists. These are our main goals: ➢ Develop five junior boys and girls who will compete in the juniors category of the Rwanda Cycling Cup 2021 and begin racing blocks in Europe. ➢ Health insurance for ten cyclists (five boys and five girls). ➢ Bike tourism training as an additional skill. ➢ Training camps for two weeks every month (see below). 4 ]\ MONTHLY PROGRAM We are going to have a two week program every month for the whole year, it means we are going to have twelve training camps.

Your donation can help to provide a brighter future for a young Rwandan. Be it to put food on the table, to buy a new bike, or to pay for a rider's health insurance; all donations make a huge difference. The money you invest in these young people will allow them to grow and develop; to create new opportunities for themselves and their communities, so future generations will have the structures in place to provide for themselves. 8 ]\ A little money can go a long way: $10​ can provide a rider with three nutritious meals a day. $50​ can buy a rider a helmet, keeping them safe while they ride. $100​ can provide a week's worth of clean drinking water for the riders. GET INVOLVED We are always in need of a helping hand. That help can come in the form of a donation, a fundraising event you would like us to be a part of, or you fancy coming out to Rwanda and getting your hands dirty! Below are just a couple of ways to get involved, but don't hesitate to contact us to express an interest. You can volunteer at the Rwamagana academy. If you have any skills which you think may be helpful, contact us to discuss opportunities. Teachers, nutritionists, mechanics, cyclists, physiotherapists, hard workers; anyone is welcome if they are keen to further the project! All volunteers will go through a screening process. The project would not be able to function without your donations. Donate money, clothes, teaching equipment, cycling equipment, or anything that you think could be of use to the students and us! Even the smallest donation can go a long way to improving a child's life. 9 ]\ MORE INFORMATION ABOUT US WHO IS ADRIEN NIYONSHUTI Born in Eastern Province, Rwanda, Niyonshuti began amateur cycling at the age of 16. In 2006, he came to the attention of a former professional cyclist, Jonathan Boyer. The first American cyclist to compete in the Tour de France, Boyer was working in Rwanda on a project to import cargo bicycles for coffee farmers. Boyer also assumed the role of coach for the Rwandan national cycling team and recruited Niyonshuti to race.

  • A Documentary Feature Film
    RISING FROM ASHES The Impossible Triumph of Team Rwanda a T.C. Johnstone Film As Told By Forest Whitaker A Documentary Feature Film Team Rwanda’s Uwase Nyandwi "A remarkable documentary. 'Rising from Ashes' is not just about a cycling team; it's a testament to what happens when human beings care for one another. Director T.C. Johnstone puts six years of work on this film to good use. The work has as little fat as his stars, yet his footage is rich, and his story is layered. Johnstone has confidence in all ele- ments of filmmaking—images, interviews, narration (by actor and co-producer Forest Whitaker, used sparingly), sound, and a fantastic soundtrack—and uses each to vivid and captivating effect." -Daphne Howland, The Village Voice "Uplifting…moving. Narrated in unobtrusive fashion by Forest Whitaker and featuring a jaunty Afropop sound- track, the film is crisp and economical, with the filmmaker carefully avoiding extraneous melodramatics. They are, after all, hardly necessary in a tale that already contains such inherently powerful drama." -Frank Schneck, The Hollywood Reporter “The wildly improbable story of the Rwandan National Cycling Team, a.k.a. Team Rwanda, delivers! Layers of suf- fering and joy mingle in 'Rising From Ashes', which gives you more than you expect - it turns out there are dramas going on that you wouldn't initially suspect. One pleasure of the film is experiencing the wonderful good spirits of the riders as they find their way in the strange new world of competitive cycling. Director T.C. Johnston knew a good story when he saw one, and we can all be grateful for that.” - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Gratis 7 Media Group• telephone: 805.252.8966 • risingfromashesthemovie.com PURPOSE STATEMENT The documentary feature film “Rising From Ashes was created with a common goal, to tell a story of re- demption, hope, and second chances.

  • Pressive Power
    A film by T.C. Johnstone 80 minutes, documentary, English, 2013 DCP & BLU-RAY, 16:9, Color, Dolby Digital 5.1 FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building | 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 | New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 | Fax (212) 989-7649 | www.firstrunfeatures.com [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.com/risingfromashes Synopsis Two worlds collide when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda to help the first Rwandan National Cycling Team in their six year journey to compete in the Olympic Games in London. Setting out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past. Executive produced and narrated by Forest Whitaker, this stunningly shot film follows Jock (the first American to compete in the Tour de France) and his Rwandan riders as they slowly but steadily learn what it means to be a professional cyclist - how to train, how to compete, how to live the life of a top level athlete. As they get better and better, the riders of Team Rwanda give their countrymen a vision of something greater than themselves and their history: hope for a future. Rwanda In Rwanda, ‘The Land of a Thousand Hills’, the bicycle is essential to life. It is how you move. It is how you work. And during the Genocide, it is how you survived. Stand on any corner of any village throughout the country, and farmers will scream down hillsides barefoot on 25 year old bikes loaded with 100 pounds of potatoes, taxi drivers peddle diligently with a mother and daughter in tow, and a child amuses himself for hours guiding a bent wheel down alleyways.
