Explore the Rwandan Community Across Sweden

From the snowy landscapes of Norrbotten to the scenic shores of Skåne, and from the vibrant city life of Stockholm and Gothenburg to the peaceful towns of Småland and Västerbotten—Sweden is home to a dynamic and united Rwandan diaspora. Spread across the country’s diverse regions, the Rwandan community brings warmth, tradition, and a strong sense of belonging wherever it takes root.

Our communities may differ in size and setting, but they share a common goal: to preserve and celebrate Rwanda’s rich cultural heritage while embracing the opportunities and values of Swedish society. Through traditional dance, music, cuisine, storytelling, and language, we create spaces where Rwandan identity thrives and where people of all backgrounds can learn, connect, and grow together.

Whether you’re in a northern town like Gällivare, where winter paints the landscape in white, or in a southern city like Malmö, where cultures converge in vibrant harmony, you’ll find Rwandan gatherings full of joy, resilience, and unity. Community-led initiatives such as cultural nights, youth mentorship programs, family gatherings, and national celebrations like Rwanda’s Liberation Day and Kwibuka commemorations take place across the country.

For those reconnecting with their roots, and for others eager to discover the depth of Rwanda’s traditions and values, the Rwandan community in Sweden offers a welcoming and enriching experience—from Lappland to the archipelagos.
