Tested as we've been by the oddest of the odds & learned from what has been endured as a pple lacking no commitment to shape our better future,surely who has the time to be scared of or defeated by the odds that still lie ahead of us! Our young pple just have to do better than us
Today we honor the bravery and determination that shaped Rwanda's path to peace, and unity. May the values of resilience, patriotism, and collective purpose continue to inspire us as we work together to build a stronger and more prosperous Rwanda.

Exciting News! Today we launched the Kigali Modern Tree Nursery in partnership with @EnvironmentRW through @RwandaForestry and @CityofKigali. This facility comes to boost access to quality, diverse tree seedlings, strengthening urban greening and fruit tree planting initiatives.
This evening, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined thousands of Rwandan youth for the annual Walk to Remember and Night Vigil at BK Arena, as part of the #Kwibuka32 remembrance activities, where young Rwandans stand together to uphold the memory of the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Today we commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and begin the official commemoration week.
Remember - Unite - Renew

✅National Geographic has recognised Akagera National Park in Rwanda as one of the top travel destinations for 2026, a nod to the country’s successful conservation efforts and burgeoning tourism sector.
✅The accolade, part of the publication’s annual Best of the World feature, highlights 25 must-visit locations globally, curated by the magazine’s editors, photographers, and adventurers.
✅Nestled along Rwanda’s eastern border, Akagera offers a Big Five safari experience in a setting of rolling savannas, lush woodlands, and winding waterways. The park is home to lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species.
✅According to National Geographic, Akagera attracts around 50,000 visitors annually, offering a quieter and more intimate safari experience compared to Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara.
✅A notable milestone in this recovery was the reintroduction of rhinos from South Africa in 2021, followed by the relocation of 70 additional white rhinos in May 2025, positioning Akagera as a leading conservation hub in the region.
✅The national park’s accolade comes as Rwanda continues to strengthen its position as a premier destination, with the tourism sector generating $647 million in revenue in 2024.

🌿 Community in Action with Minister of Environment Dr Dr. Bernadette Arakwiye Umuganda Kigali 🇷🇼
Today, Jocelyne and I had the privilege of representing Shelter Them during Umuganda in Kigali — joining hands with the community and meeting inspiring local leaders, including Minister of Environment Dr. Bernadette Arakwiye.
We also had the honour of meeting the former Ethiopian minister Hailemariam Desalegn, who was participating in Umuganda today.
Together, we planted trees 🌳 — a symbol of growth, sustainability, and hope for future generations.
As we continue empowering vulnerable families through education, farming, and community development, we look forward to partnering with the Ministry of Environment to access more land for our agriculture and livestock initiatives. 🌾🐄
Together, we can strengthen sustainable livelihoods, protect our planet, and build communities that thrive with dignity. 💚

🙌🏾 The best places in the world to travel to in 2026: “As wildlife flourishes, more hospitality options are springing up. Recent developments in the south of @AkageraPark include the extensive renovation of Karenge Bush Camp. In the northern sector, Wilderness Magashi Peninsula, a high-end, intimate safari camp, has opened on Akagera’s remote Magashi Peninsula, contributing to the small lineup of tented suites and lodges that make the park’s exciting wildlife encounters even more accessible.” #VisitRwanda
