The initiative aligns with the company\u2019s environmental efforts to introduce a variety of tree species, including coffee, mango, and tea.<\/p>\n<p>{{A Token of Appreciation to the Community<br \/>\n}}<\/p>\n<p>RUGC\u2019s acting CEO, Gaston Gasore, expressed appreciation to the communities surrounding the Kigali Golf Course for being valuable partners in maintaining the facility\u2019s aesthetic appeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe called upon you to support us, and you turned up in large numbers. It wouldn\u2019t be fair for RUGC to focus solely on itself, which is why we decided to show our gratitude by providing health insurance to some of you who may not afford it. It\u2019s important that our neighbours have access to good healthcare,\u201d Gasore stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of Business Banking at NCBA Bank Rwanda, Nkubito Samuel, highlighted the importance of the initiative, stating that supporting residents\u2019 healthcare needs aligns with their commitment to community well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is heartbreaking to hear about people suffering at home because they cannot afford health insurance. We welcomed this idea because the community is our primary stakeholder,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Director General of the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), Juliet Kabera, commended RUGC and its partners for their noble initiative, which combined community service and support for vulnerable residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis initiative embodies core Rwandan values, including unity, as we see people coming together and forming new friendships. It also reflects a strong work ethic and, most importantly, a spirit of generosity towards those in need,\u201d Kabera noted.<\/p>\n<p>RUGC is responsible for the management and maintenance of Kigali Golf Course, overseeing various development projects, including the Kigali Golf Resort and Villas.<\/p>\n<p>This prestigious project features the Kigali Golf Course, a state-of-the-art Clubhouse, tennis courts, a running trail, a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, and a fine dining area. The Clubhouse also offers a range of golf accessories, including professional attire, golf clubs, and bags.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-82314 aligncenter\"><img
