Toddle care specializes is the design and manufacturing of wooden and soft educational toys and Furniture for children in Rwanda and for international markets.
BPN Rwanda recently hosted a networking event, bringing together women entrepreneurs, a day of learning, reflection, and connection.
These women are part of the BPN Impala program under the #Grow2Scale Consortium in partnership with @MastercardFdn.
The morning began with a study visit to @ToddleCare, where alumna Ritah Uwera shared her entrepreneurial journey: the hurdles she faced, the support she received, and the lessons she carries forward. Her story resonated deeply, with many participants noting that their biggest takeaway was: “It’s okay to take a step back to make a big jump.”

🌟 Just wrapped up an inspiring IAF Women-Only Networking Event & Barcamp at @AdefTvet School in Kicukiro today, 31st July 2025! 👩🏽💼💬💡
Huge thanks to all the amazing women who showed up 🙌 and to our partners @GIZ_Rwanda & NIRDA @RwandaIndustry for the continued support! 🤝💪
Last week, alongside two of #Rwanda ’s leading women entrepreneurs @ritahuwera1 of @ToddleCare and Paradis Imfura of @woodhabitat we had the honour of sharing Rwanda’s remarkable story, one of resilience, transformation, and the extraordinary strides women are making in breaking barriers.
Under the theme “Thinking the unthinkable”, we spoke about how #Rwandan women are turning what was once unimaginable into reality, growing businesses from modest home backyards to international stages in under a decade.
This progress has been made possible thanks to Rwanda’s visionary and exemplary leadership, which continues to foster an environment where women can thrive.
As we mark the 31st commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, we do so with a deep sense of responsibility and solidarity. As rwandans, and as women, we are committed to uplifting one another and ensuring we build a future that truly leaves no one behind.
Our sincere thanks go to @LadiesDrive , @MastercardFdn and @BPNRwanda for believing in us and for providing such an incredible platform to share our story and engage with inspiring women leaders from around the world.
These rewards were made possible by successful entrepreneurs eager to give back to their communities. Thank you to our entrepreneurs @ToddleCare@Manumetalltd for your generosity 🥳
Mr Francois Ngoboka @ngonfr who represented MIFOTRA stressed that the fair provides a platform for Rwandan SMEs to meet talented young professionals and for job seekers to explore meaningful opportunities. He underscored its alignment with NST 2 which prioritizes job creation.
“The focus should be on supporting small and medium enterprises. The reason is simple: these businesses, and the women and young people that own them, are the backbone of Africa’s economy. But they shouldn’t remain small and medium, they need to grow.” President Kagame | Biashara Afrika 2024 #AfCFTABA24
