Ruhanga Genocide Memorial is the former Ruhanga Episcopal Anglican Church (EAR Ruhanga) and includes a mass grave inside the building.
It became a memorial site after over 15,000 Tutsi were killed at the church during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and buried there.
After receiving explanations on genocide history on Friday, the management of KBS Ltd donated home items worth over Rwf 5 million to 20 vulnerable families of genocide survivors in Kinyana cell.
The donations range from beds, mattresses, chairs and curtains to each family to replace existing old ones.
The Managing Director of KBS Ltd, Emmanuel Habanabakize revealed that citizens are major stakeholders of day-to-day transport services and stressed that it is the responsibility of KBS Ltd to join Rwandans towards the rebuilding process after the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi which left wounds, widows and orphans.
“We cannot bring back our relatives killed during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. As members of the private sector we deeply understand suffering genocide survivors endured. It is our commitment to support them towards the resilience journey as we remember fallen victims,” said Habanabakize.
“ As His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Rwanda always reminds us , no one from outside will solve our problems. We have the responsibility to strive for self-reliance to transform history of our nation. With this regard, KBS stands firm for that commitment of finding own solutions and we are capable of doing so,” he added.
The President of IBUKA, organization umbrella of genocide survivors in Rusororo sector, Emmanuel Nduwayezu said existing equipment had turned old and thanked KBS Ltd for the donations that came in handy.
“These people no longer had beds and mattresses. We deeply appreciate the support of KBS,” he said.
According to the management of KBS Ltd, the company is committed to supporting vulnerable Rwandans as a way of giving back to community as major stakeholders of its services.
