''It is incredible to see how many people are being served daily through such a well-structured system.” — @JanetKaremera CEO of the @RCBrwanda .

From Rugende Farms to the kitchens serving thousands of patients and students daily, the Rwanda Convention Bureau team experienced our Farm to Plate journey firsthand. Each step, growing, preparing, and serving, showcased how well-designed systems can deliver real, lasting impact.

Beyond the process, the visit sparked deeper conversations about how experiences like these can support initiatives that strengthen public nutrition systems. Every meal served is part of a bigger story, one where collaboration, care, and innovation come together to build sustainable change.

This visit marks another step in our journey to scale public nutrition infrastructure in Rwanda.

Earlier today, we had the honour of welcoming the Strategy & Policy Council from @UrugwiroVillage to Solid’Africa.

They explored our Farm-to-Plate model and the full scope of our nutrition infrastructure.

From production at our Rugende farm to meal preparation at our Rusororo industrial kitchen, which produces up to 23,000 meals daily for patients and students across Kigali,

This visit highlighted our integrated system designed to strengthen nutrition security, support local supply chains, and advance our ongoing partnership with the Government of Rwanda.

President Kagame’s leadership continues to inspire young people across the continent.

At the Africa Food Systems Forum 2025 in Dakar, a young woman from Djibouti told him: “From a young age, I have really admired you for your work on women’s rights. You have done so much for Rwandan women, and even more widely for African women.”

A huge thanks to @GHA_rwanda for their successful volunteer work day! 🌱💚

The students volunteered their time, helping with harvesting, peeling, and washing fresh produce, assisting in meal service to hospital patients, and offering amazing donations of basic necessities like sanitary products, soaps, toothbrushes, clothes, and more to brighten their day. 🙌

We’re so grateful for their incredible dedication! They also had the chance to learn about our Farm-to-Plate model, seeing firsthand how we feed the people we serve—from the farm straight to the plate.

International Women’s Day Breakfast with Airtel, our Founder & President Isabelle Kamariza shared reflections from the early days of Solid’Africa, back in 2010.

There was no big funding at the start. But there was purpose, determination, and a deep belief in care.

Every patient served reminded the team why the work mattered, and how acts of love and care can create a powerful ripple effect.

This year’s IWD theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that when we give, our time, our care, our support, we help build stronger communities and open new opportunities for others.

Giving back does not have to be big or perfectly planned.
It can simply start with the decision to act.

Start where you are. Start with what you have! Happy IWD from Solid'Africa. #InternationalWomensDay #GiveToGain #WeAreSolidTogether #MealsThatHeal #NutritionSecurity

Last week, we were honored to welcome a delegation from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation to several of Solid'Africa’s field sites, including the nearly completed first hybrid school kitchen in Bujyujyu, Rwamagana District.

Solid Africa’s Farm in Rugende is where it all begins!

Through our farm to plate model, we partner with over 7,000 smallholder farmers, more than half women. We provide training in climate smart agriculture and locally source food for nutritious meals in public schools and hospitals.

Meals are prepared in our clean energy kitchens and delivered across Kigali with our electric vehicle fleet!

Today, we serve six public hospitals and six schools.

With every meal, we are transforming care with an equity first approach!

On 13th February, Kibagabaga Hospital hosted a special occasion for Patients Day 💛

We began in prayer, and listened to powerful words from hospital leadership that reminded us that healthcare is not just about treatment, it’s about compassion, and collaboration. The patient testimonies touched us deeply, and the stories of dedicated care were a beautiful reminder of why this work matters.

We were truly honored to receive a recognition award for our continued efforts to provide nutritious meals to patients. We ended with sharing a special meal together.

We are grateful to be part of a healthcare system that operates with care!
