The event took place on Thursday 23rd December 2021 at the headquarters of APECOS in Gatenga sector of Kicukiro district.
APECOS Rwanda is a non-profit organization that helps children and orphans affected or infected by HIV/AIDS. It is dedicated to eradicate poverty of the aforementioned children through financial empowerment of their families as well as meeting their educational, clothing, medical, and nutritional needs.

After learning about the organization’s activities to promote the wellbeing of HIV/AIDS orphans , Mayfair Insurance committed to cater for school fees and shared lunch in celebration of the festive season.
Claude Bucyana, a business development officer at Mayfair Insurance Company Rwanda said that the gesture is organized every year to extend support and stand in solidarity with needy people.
“The company is not only involved in business operations but also attaches great relevance to supporting needy people. That is why we have decided to share Christmas lunch and provide school fees as a symbol that they are not alone,” he said.
APECOS began operations in 2005. Since then, it has helped over 1000 children through the provision of school fees, financial support to foster families, easy access to health services and psychological support.
The Deputy Country Representative of APECOS, Alphonse Ntwali thanked Mayfair Insurance Company Rwanda for the gesture and pledged to help them raise these children properly.
