the eye Magazine is an independent digital magazine covering the people, ideas, and places shaping East Africa — and their connections to the wider world.

We publish reported features, sharp analysis, culture coverage, and opinion from Kigali and across the region. Our journalism is funded by readers and partners who believe the continent’s stories deserve to be told with depth, context, and craft.

What we cover

Politics and policy. Business and innovation. Travel and conservation. Art, music, and fashion. We follow stories wherever they lead — from a coffee cooperative in the hills to a fintech sandbox in the capital.

Our masthead

the eye Magazine is produced by a small team of editors, correspondents, and contributors in Kigali, with partners across East Africa and the diaspora.
