{On October 31st 2013, the Imbuto Foundation in partnership with Liquid Telecommunications distributed 200 solar lamps to Imbuto Foundation’s project beneficiaries in the Bugesera community.} This event took place in Bugesera District, Mr. Nic Rudnic, CEO of Liquid Telecommunications, Mr. Sam Nkusi Chairman of Liquid Telecom Rwanda, Mr. Constantin Rukundo, Coordinator of AERG and Mrs. Radegonde Ndejuru, Director-General in the Office of the First Lady marked this event.
Imbuto Foundation- the First Lady’s Foundation- aims to empower youth to reach their maximum potential with the support of Liquid Telecommunications. This initiative is done through Imbuto Foundation’s Aheza Project, which targets 200 young genocide survivors in Bugesera, Huye, Nyanza and Rwamagana Districts.
More specifically, the Aheza Project aims to equip young genocide survivors with career and life skills. This is accomplished by providing relevant training to prepare the youth for the work force, information and communications technology, trauma resilience and more.
The provision of solar lamps is intended to facilitate them with their day-to-day activities, including the convenience of studying or conducting business until late hours. The Bugesera district community members were specifically selected based on vulnerability and lack of access to electricity. They will receive training on how to effectively use the solar lamps and its benefits.
Liquid Telecommunications is further supporting these youth by providing a total of 1,000 solar lamps to AHEZA beneficiaries and other communities in Rwanda.
