Kopa Telecom partners with World Vision to raise $500,000 for child nutrition

The telecommunications company is among the businesses supporting Rwanda’s development and its ambition to become a technology hub by providing fast and reliable internet services.

Beyond its core business in technology, Kopa Telecom also seeks to contribute to the well-being of communities through initiatives that promote better health and improve people’s livelihoods.

As part of these efforts, Kopa Telecom is supporting the Friends of World Vision Rwanda Annual Golf Tournament, which will be held at Kigali Golf Resorts & Villas on August 22, 2026.

Speaking to IGIHE, Kopa Telecom’s Head of Marketing and Sales, Rusaro Jesca, said the partnership with World Vision provides the company with an opportunity to strengthen its contribution to communities where it operates.

“We are partners with World Vision in this tournament so that, in the communities where we operate, we can give back and contribute to their development. This includes efforts to combat stunting and malnutrition. This is just the beginning, and we will do much more in the days ahead,” she said.

Rusaro said Kopa Telecom’s internet services mainly target large companies, offices, schools, hotels, financial institutions and other organisations that require fast, stable and reliable connectivity.

She added that the company’s services reach customers across Rwanda, with coverage of 99.8 percent of the country, including remote areas and communities located near Rwanda’s borders.

World Vision organised the golf tournament with the goal of raising $500,000 to support children affected by malnutrition. The funds will support various interventions, including the construction of a modern kitchen to prepare nutritious meals for children, among other initiatives.

As part of its broader programme, World Vision plans to support up to 2.5 million families between 2026 and 2030, with a focus on improving the well-being and living conditions of vulnerable communities.
