Every Weekend
Joy & belonging
Berulo Care
BERULO CARE is a heartwarming program created by Cyusa Ian Berulo, bringing children together every weekend to share joyful moments, learn, and grow. It offers a space where kids enjoy fun activities while learning inclusion, respect, and kindness. Through shared meals and laughter, the program fosters belonging.

12 Years
Education Journey
Berulo UP
A long-term education and economic empowerment program implemented through the Berulo App, designed to accompany the school community throughout the twelve years of basic and secondary education.
The program integrates education, financial inclusion, and social protection to ensure that learners remain in school while building a sustainable future. Through the Berulo App, schools are supported to establish productive income-generating activities, such as livestock projects or other sustainable ventures capable of producing continuous returns.
Learners
Health insurance (Mutuelle de Santé), school feeding contributions, and long-term savings accounts created under their profile in the Berulo App.
Teachers
Incentives and economic benefits that improve welfare while strengthening motivation and commitment to quality education.
School Leadership
Resources managed via the app to support school development, institutional stability, and improved educational performance.
Berulo Community
Unity, solidarity, and collaboration across the school community — learners, teachers, leadership, and families in a shared ecosystem of support and long-term benefits.
What Berulo UP Aims to Achieve
Prevent Dropout
Linking education with tangible economic benefits to keep learners in school.
Transform Schools
Turning schools into centers of both learning and sustainable development.
Economic Empowerment
Ensuring students complete education with practical economic support, not only certificates.
Resilient Communities
Building school communities capable of supporting their members over the long term.

More Than a School Management Platform

Murengere Atararenga
A comprehensive social protection and accountability campaign initiated by Cyusa Ian Berulo through BeruloApp. It is a community-centered initiative designed to prevent school dropout, combat violence, support the reintegration of children in street situations, and protect vulnerable youth while strengthening accountability across schools and local government.
