The Tour du Rwanda has always been a unique race on the calendar, but this year it took on special significance for Israel Premier Tech, which used the race as Chris Froome's season debut and also launched its Rwandan charity, " Field of Dreams" was launched.

The Field of Dreams project, heavily promoted on Israel Premier Tech's 2022 Tour de France racing kit, has raised funds from thousands of cycling fans and is now creating new charities in the region.

The Field of Dreams center opened in the Bugesera district just before the Tour de Rwanda, and Chris Froome attended the opening of the newly constructed pump track and 1.2 km bike path.

To expand the center's community outreach, Israel Premier Tech partnered with Ignite Power, a leading pan-African off-grid solar company based in Israel and the United Arab Emirates, to install solar power The solar systems were installed in the homes of children participating in the center's activities.

Ignite Power has installed solar systems in 20 homes in the area and plans to power an additional 200 homes in the coming year. The solar systems will provide electricity to help young cyclists with their studies, as well as support lighting, cooking, and communications for the residents of Bugesera.

Sylvan Adams, owner of Israel Premier Tech, said of the project, "This Field of Dreams that we have built is the foundation of a virtuous circle that will provide much-needed assistance to our adopted community of Bugesera It is the foundation of a virtuous circle that will provide much-needed assistance to our adopted Bugesera community."

"The best example of this is our partnership with Ignite to bring solar-powered electricity to our community for the first time. These facilities provide electricity for lighting, cooking, and even cell phone charging, saving people from the prohibitively expensive services provided by charging vendors.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame has also been a vocal supporter of the Field of Dreams initiative. The president stated, "I am deeply grateful for this."

Rwanda will host Africa's first UCI Road World Championships in 2025, and the Field of Dreams center will provide riders from across the country the opportunity to race weekly. The team hopes that the project will provide a significant boost to cycling in the region ahead of the world championships.

Following the construction of the pump track and cycling course, Israel Premier Tech aims to develop a building to house the cycling center and academy.

Chris Froome, who opened the center before making his eye-catching debut at the Tour of Rwanda, spoke passionately about his role at the Field of Dreams Center. He said, "Seeing the joy on the kids' faces, it was like a huge victory. This is a game-changing project."
