🎊As OC Chair, I am grateful to all our partners, speakers, and participants who made the opening ceremony a resounding success. Your commitment to transforming healthcare through technology and research is truly inspiring. Together, we are building a brighter, healthier future.
Young people deserve a world where periods are met with dignity, not shame. 🩸
Breaking menstrual stigma starts with honest conversations, education, and equal access for every girl and young woman. Periods are natural, and menstrual health is a right for all. #EndPeriodStigmaRw
Menstrual health is a right, not a taboo.
🩸Menstruation is a natural and healthy part of life experienced by millions of women and girls worldwide. It is not a disease, a curse, or something to be hidden. Yet, many girls and women still face stigma, discrimination, and misinformation that limit their access to the knowledge, products, and support they need to manage their periods safely and with dignity.
Menstrual health is a human right. Every girl and woman deserves access to accurate information, affordable menstrual products, clean water, adequate sanitation facilities, and supportive environments at home, in school, at work, and within the community. When we challenge myths and break the silence surrounding menstruation, we empower girls and women to participate fully in education, leadership, and everyday life without fear, shame, or exclusion.
Let us raise our voices to normalize conversations about menstruation, end period stigma, and advocate for menstrual equity for all. Together, we can build a future where every girl and woman is respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.
✨ Menstruation is natural.
✨ Periods are normal.
✨ Dignity is non-negotiable.
✨ Menstrual health is a right, not a taboo.

#AHAS2026 #HealthForAll #LetCommunityLead
Today the Executive Director @Knooliet held a partnership meeting with @RichardAmenyah the @UNAIDS Representative and Multi-Country Director of #Kenya #Rwanda #SouthSudan. The discussion was centered around
✅ Integrating HIV Services, Social Contracting and Community Data for Sustainable Health Financing.
To achieve this, the following key points need to be achieved:
⏩️ Positioning Civil Society and Government Roles in Health Funding
⏩️ Community Leadership, Trust and Sustaining the “Triple 95”
⏩️ Social Contracting as a Pathway for Sustainability
⏩️ Integrating Community Data into National Health Systems
⏩️ Data, Evidence, and Value Demonstration
⏩️ Program Scope, Focus and Coordination with Government
⏩️ Monitoring Service Access, Quality, and Stigma
⏩️ ”Intelligent Integration” of HIV Services into the Health System
⏩️ Defining and presenting Non-Negotiable HIV Service Package
⏩️ PMTCT Testing Strategy and Preventive Use of Long-Acting Agents
⏩️ Service Access for Key Populations Amid System Changes
⏩️ Data Systems, Continuity of Care, and Supply Planning
@RwandaNGOForum call the @RwandaHealth @nsanzimanasabin, all partners to join efforts for a stronger partnership and collaboration to sustain gains that have been achieved in AIDS response; continue saving lives of the communities even in the period of financial crisis!
✅ #Communities are key to sustaining the gains and making health impact.
▶️▶️ Moving forward, this can only be achieved when they are actively engaged in shaping decisions and protecting HIV outcomes!
We are stronger Together! #HealthForAll #CommunityCentered #LetCommunitiesLead #SavingLives

@DMbituyumuremyi Woow, it’s amazing and inspiring to see young ones and youth committed like this and delivering good message to promote health. #zeromalaria
As artemisinin resistance takes hold, Noella Umulisa highlights the urgency of solutions like multiple first-line therapies, with STOP-AMDR led by @Jhpiego working to preserve the effectiveness of antimalarial drugs and sustain progress.
Innovation is transforming the fight against malaria.
New tools, vaccines, and strong programs are saving lives, and countries like Rwanda are making real progress.
Yet malaria still threatens millions, especially in Africa. When funding drops, it returns quickly and costs lives.
Let’s sustain funding, protect communities, and end malaria.
Now we can. Now we must.

Today is #WorldMalariaDay 2026
To mark #WorldMalariaDay in #Rwanda has coincided with the monthy national community work (#UMUGANDA) held in @KicukiroDistr, @gahanga_sector, Kagasa Cell. @RwandaNGOForum has joined @RwandaHealth/@RBCRwanda and #malaria stakeholders, including fellow CSOs colleagues @Sfrwanda1, @InterfaithRda, @sfhRwanda, @CaritasRwanda, @ASOFERWA2, @ProfemmesTH, partners @AbbottNews, @JhpiegoRwanda, @expertisefrance/@EF_LINITIATIVE and @KicukiroDistr residents.
@KicukiroDistr has been selected to host #WorldMalariaDay given their #malaria epidemiological context.
Between July 2025 and March 2026, @KicukiroDistr recorded 65,000 #malaria cases, corresponding to 7% of the national #malaria incidence rate. @gahanga_sector alone accounted for 15,000 of those cases. Those alarming numbers show that we still have a huge work to be done in #malaria response, but the local response, through environmental management activities, is encouraging.
Community Health Workers (#CHWs) are the frontline healthcare providers, through #malaria home-based management (#HBM), managing half of all malaria cases in #Rwanda. In a major step forward and to support their incredible work, #CHWs are now receiving smartphones from @RwandaHealth. This means they can finally drop the burden of filling out 14 different paper registers and shift entirely to digital reporting.
Further to that, #Rwanda is also stepping up the medical fight as the first country to initiate Multiple First-line Therapies (#MFT) in Africa to combat Coartem resistance.
Communities are encouraged to combine this advanced treatment with everyday #malaria control strategies, such as environmental management, daily use of mosquito nets, and targeted indoor residual spray (IRS), seeking medical care to the nearby CHW, home-based sanitation and hygiene.
Apart from #UMUGANDA, #WorldMalariaDay has featured #malaria testing and treatment activities by #CHWs, and official launch of long-lasting insecticidal nets (#LLINS) distribution in #malaria endimic sectors, starting with @gahanga_sector.
Defeating #malaria requires everyone. The Ministry of Health (@RwandaHealth) is working closely with local communities, local government, health workers, the private sector, security organs, and the media. It is a shared responsibility to keep our homes clean and our families safe. #KuranduraMalariyaBiheraKuriNjye

Despite strong progress, malaria remains a challenge in Rwanda and across Africa. 🌍
As youth and partners we must stay committed to raising awareness and protecting our communities.
Let’s keep pushing for a malaria-free future!
Malaria is still a major health problem in the world, causing millions of cases and many deaths each year. According to the @WHO reports, about 95% of malaria cases occur in Africa.
Rwanda has made strong progress in reducing malaria, but the disease is still present, with many cases reported every year.
Even if Rwanda contributes less than 1% of global cases, it remains part of the most affected region.
This shows that progress must continue.
Sustained funding and action are needed to control and eliminate malaria.
As youth, and other partners like, @RBCRwanda, @RwandaNGOForum, @ALMA_2030, @Knooliet, @MalariaNoMore.... we also have a role to play by raising awareness, supporting prevention, and contributing to the fight against malaria in our communities.

🌟Know the Law. Own Your Health.
Did You Know You Can You Make Your Own Health Decisions?🤔
Understanding your rights is the first step toward protecting your health. Rwanda’s new law regulating healthcare services introduces important changes that directly affect adolescents, especially when it comes to making decisions about their own health. This campaign aims to break down these provisions in a simple and relatable way so that young people are informed, confident, and empowered.
One of the key highlights of the law is the age of consent for accessing healthcare services. Adolescents aged 15 and above can now access healthcare services, including sexual and reproductive health services, without needing parental consent. This provision recognizes that young people need timely, confidential, and safe access to healthcare, and it removes barriers that previously prevented many from seeking the services they need.
Knowing this right is essential for every young person. It means you have a voice in your health decisions and the ability to seek care without fear or stigma. As we start this campaign, we invite you to learn, and share this information, because when you know the law, you can truly own your health.

🎉🇷🇼 MEET Dr. NTABOMVURA VENANT @100 – A LIFE TIME IN SERVICE 👨🏽⚕️💯
Venant Ntabomvura, the number one student of the former National University of Rwanda 🎓 (1963), began his medical practice in 1946 and built a remarkable career as an ENT specialist 👂👃🗣️, serving Rwanda and beyond 🌍.
He started as a nurse, later became a medical assistant, and spent decades treating patients 🏥, leading health services and mentoring others 👨🏽🏫. He retired about two years ago, but still serves voluntarily 🤍, believing that using one’s skills to help others is essential.
🗣️ “If you sit without working, you cannot live longer… working keeps the body alive.”
A resident of Ruturo Cell, Kibirizi Sector in Gisagara District 📍, he lives with his wife (87) 👩❤️👨 and is a father of 13 👨👩👧👦 (two have passed away).
Even at 100, his passion for medicine continues ❤️, because for him, it is not just a profession but a calling.
👏 A true legend and inspiration 🇷🇼✨

This is exactly where the shift happens. We’ve seen firsthand that when young people take the lead, the message sticks because it’s rooted in their own reality. Jean-Claude isn't just "learning"—he’s leading. The impact on community is undeniable when the youth own the narrative
Watching primary school students lead #Bilharzia (#schistosomiasis) awareness among their peers is one of the most powerful reminders of why community-led, centered, and driven prevention interventions work.
#JeanClaude didn’t just make a poster, he communicated a public health message, in his own words and in his own handwriting. That’s health literacy. That’s the kind of early empowerment that doesn’t just prevent #Bilharzia (#schistosomiasis); it builds the next generation of health experts.
Research consistently shows that school-based #schistosomiasis education accelerates behavior change far beyond what adult-targeted campaigns achieve alone. When children become educators, the message reaches households, siblings, and communities that formal health systems often sideline.
#JeanClaude is not just a student in primary school. He is a future poster presenter, at national forums, at global health conferences, on stages that shape policy.
@EricNiyongira1 @TungaChristian @BertrandByishim: the real question this work raises is: how do we sustain those momentum even beyond the project cycle? Mentorship pipelines? School health champion programs? It’s food for thought.
The intervention ends. The empowerment shouldn’t. Well done @BSIRwanda 👏🏾👏🏾
