Rwandan Community in Gällivare

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.
