Sakwe Sakwe App is a solution that uses KINYARWANDA riddles and riddling as a tool to encourage KINYARWANDA language learning within young generations in Rwanda though mobile phones. The riddles (IBISAKUZO) are puzzles presented in a form of precedent statements, queries or propositions eliciting responses solutions or sequent. Traditionally riddling in KINYARWANDA is very important aspect of children plays. The use of metaphors and structural parallelism in puzzles presents enormous opportunities for Sakwe Sakwe App to be viewed as an instructional medium for elegant speech, observation of nature and human behavior. As culture is central to the aspect of what it means to be human, language is a vehicle through which culture is transmitted. We need to speak and think in a language of our culture. However for developing countries such as Rwanda, the language that is associated with development is English and French. Hence, it is important for children to master foreign languages in order to succeed. However, if mastering these foreign languages come at a cost of using less home usage of the language then that is a serious compromise. Therefore, Sakwe Sakwe leverage the power and wide adoption of mobile phone in young generation to narrow this gap.
