Bringing healthcare closer to communities!

Alphonsine Mukarugema, through a partnership between Imbuto Foundation and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), represented by Country Director Kenan Yiğit.
The ceremony was also attended by H.E. the Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to Rwanda, Aslan Alper Yüksel, and the Director General of the Rwanda Biomedical Centre, Prof. Dr. @CMuvunyi.

D’art et de mémoire…
Ces dernières semaines ont été marquées, en France, par des moments majeurs pour la mémoire des nôtres : ces hommes, ces femmes et ces enfants, plus d’un million de vies fauchées parce qu’identifiés comme Tutsi, en 1994.
Le 23 mai 2026, le film Ben’Imana de Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambo reçoit la Caméra d’Or et le Prix FIPRESCI des critiques internationales de films, au Festival de Cannes.
Le 2 juin 2026, L’Archive, le monument conçu par Grada Kilomba en mémoire des victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi, est inauguré par les présidents @PaulKagame et @EmmanuelMacron, ainsi que la Première Dame @FirstLadyRwanda, à Paris, sur les bords de la Seine.
À travers ces deux œuvres, l’art devient à la fois mémoire et transmission.
S’y inscrivent les questions de justice, et de la parole, qui libère et aide à panser les blessures du passé.
Mais surtout de la responsabilité de transmettre aux générations futures, l’histoire de ceux qui ne sont plus.
Ainsi, par le cinéma, comme par la pierre, leur mémoire demeure vivante et continue d’habiter notre présent.

“Confronting historical responsibilities requires real courage, because it generates fierce opposition by those with a case to answer. You need a strong sense of humanity to see it through. President Macron, I want to commend you on both counts: courage and humanity.
You acknowledged that France could have stopped the genocide, but did not. In response, I described your words as something more valuable than an apology: namely, the truth. This door was first opened by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I wish to commend him today.
The Genocide against the Tutsi was foreseeable, and in fact foreseen, and France was in a unique position to observe and to act. It took too long for France to come to terms with its role, causing additional pain. And on some points, we still have not found consensus. I fully understand the feelings of those survivors and advocates, who remain dissatisfied with the official record. But I believe that our common work has initiated a journey towards truth, which is irreversible.
And France was not alone in falling short, far from it. Many other countries did so as well, but none has gone as far as France in setting the record straight and accepting its part in the tragedy.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
Ce mémorial en hommage aux victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi au Rwanda est un lieu vivant. Il cultive la mémoire et projette vers l'avenir la relation entre le Rwanda et la France.
À nous de transmettre avec rigueur, dignité, vérité et justice.

“This has been a day of great meaning and promise. Rwanda appreciates the steps you have taken. We have chosen to look forward, and write a new chapter together, and that choice is already bearing fruit. The ambition is there on both sides. But what matters most is the renewal of trust. Today, France is an important partner for Rwanda, in investment, technology, climate, and many other common priorities. Rwanda looks forward to working with France to deepen our collaboration, and expand the possibilities between our two countries.” President Kagame
Last night in Paris, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame attended a dinner at Palais de l'Élysée, hosted by President @EmmanuelMacron and First Lady Brigitte Macron, following the inauguration of the memorial commemorating the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
Congratulations to our #VisitRwanda partner Paris Saint-Germain @PSG_inside on their well-deserved UEFA @ChampionsLeague title and on being crowned champions for the second consecutive year.
Congratulations as well to @Arsenal on reaching the final and fighting with determination until the very end.
Both clubs have made their supporters proud, but tonight, PSG proved to be the better team!
President Kagame joined thousands of basketball fans at BK Arena last night as the RSSB Tigers became the first Rwandan team to advance to the BAL Finals #BAL2026
This evening at the BK Arena, President Kagame attended the #BAL2026 Playoff semi-finals, where Rwanda’s RSSB Tigers secured a 106–97 victory over Egypt’s Al Ahly, advancing to the BAL Finals.
“I commend all police officers, past and present, whose courage and dedication have enabled Rwandans to live and work in safety and dignity.
Beyond our borders, these qualities continue to distinguish you in international peace support operations.
The achievements made so far, are a result of strong cooperation with partners, fellow security organs, and above all, the unwavering support of Rwandans.
This spirit of collaboration is a strength that must be continually nurtured, and bolstered.” President Kagame | 25th Anniversary of Rwanda National Police and Officer Cadets Commissioning Ceremony
#BenImana.
Un film rwandais, gabonais, français et norvégien, soutenu également par @RedSeaFilm Fund.
Un film dont les valeurs universelles nous rappellent que notre continent porte en lui des récits profondément humains, qui méritent d’être partagés sur les plus grandes scènes de ce monde.
Merci à @dusabejambo, @SamanthaBIFFOT et @FannyUwayezu pour votre détermination à faire exister ce film, avec autant d’authenticité, de sensibilité et d’exigence, au nom de toutes ces mères à qui nous devons tant.

This evening, I broke bread with 128 fellow Rwandan medical practitioners pursuing specialty training in Ethiopia, alongside more than 400 colleagues from across Africa.
They are part of a growing community of African physicians dedicating themselves to the kind of expertise and excellence our continent’s healthcare future demands, within institutions helping shape the next generation of African medical leadership.
Through shared learning and purpose, we continue building a healthier Africa together.
