It would be good and helpful to attempt to make contact with
anyone within Rwanda that is using Sugar on Positivos, official or
otherwise, but also anyone who is involved with the official
distribution of Positivos within Rwanda. Can you help us on this
front, Samson?<br>

For Sugar Labs, the most important part is "the machines will have the
same modules (interface) for children lesson," so there's an
opportunity for Sugar Labs to remain involved.
I don't know what operating system REB are using, but OLPC OS 18.04.0
based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Sugar will likely work straight away on
PC-compatible laptops, and can be customised and rebuilt. Our OLPC
servers do see update requests from countries were we have not
distributed our PC-compatible laptops, which is cool.
