The event took place on Saturday, in Nyagahinga cell, where KBS Ltd headquarters are located.
The team worked on a Kilometer-long road that links Kanyinya to Kigarama Village.
According to the company’s General Manager, Boniface Mutua, the aim was to contribute to Rwanda’s development and appreciation for dedicated clients that keep traveling with KBS buses.
“We had this initiative as a way of thanking our dedicated clients and contributing to the country’s development. This is the new KBS; we want to be closer to our clients, help them through their choices,” Mutua said.
The community work is a first in many more to come in several parts of the country.
KBS Finance Officer, Nadine Uwamahoro said that the new initiative is to include the company’s clients.
“We usually did community work as a company but this time, we decided to include our clients so as to show them how we value them. The initiative will be continuous, as we are preparing ourselves to help an underprivileged family in Kicukiro,” Uwamahoro said.
Some of the residents that were given Mutuelle de Santé told IGIHE how they previously struggled to raise enough money for medical insurance and expressed gratitude to KBS’s gesture.
Jean de Dieu Biziyaremye, an Official from Rusororo Sector, applauded KBS Ltd for the support, emphasizing that health insurance is very important for every citizen.
“We are thankful for their support towards 300 citizens. It is a very humane act and as a community, we appreciate it.” Biziyaremye said.
Kigali Bus Services (KBS) has a fleet of 116 buses and uses Kanombe-Nyabugogo, Kanombe- Kigali, Remera-Nyabugogo, Remera-Masaka, Remera-Busanza and many other routes.
