This includes efforts to combat stunting and malnutrition. This is just the beginning, and we will do much more in the days ahead,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rusaro said Kopa Telecom\u2019s internet services mainly target large companies, offices, schools, hotels, financial institutions and other organisations that require fast, stable and reliable connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that the company\u2019s services reach customers across Rwanda, with coverage of 99.8 percent of the country, including remote areas and communities located near Rwanda\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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
