  • Exaucer Boutique introduces power balance bracelet in Kigali

    {Rwanda’s local market has become the first in Africa to have Power Balance Bracelet, the hologram-embedded band which is worn on the wrist to balance body powers, enhance flexibility and strength.}

    Power Balance Bracelet is widely used in the United States of America and Canada but little is known about it in Africa.

    Ezlase Esdras, sales manager and representative of Exaucer Boutique in Rwanda, says they decided to bring this bracelet to Rwanda after realizing its importance especially for people who do sports and elderly people who suffer rheumatism.

    “The shop has been opened by Rwanda national living abroad who has used the bracelet for seven years. Power balance bracelet balances the body powers to prevent joints shaking and tiredness during sports. It also improves blood circulation and relieves stress,” he says.

    Power balance bracelet is so important to people above 40 years old especially those suffering from rheumatism and obesity.

    {{Usage of the bracelet}}

    Power balance bracelet is in use in US and Canada since 2010. The bracelet has been proved to be important in regulating blood circulation, improving sleeping quality and mitigating effects of radiation resulting from contacts with electronics.

    {{Who should use the bracelet?}}

    Sports lovers need most power balance bracelet to keep their powers balanced and constant to help with proper blood circulation and prevent pains in the joints.

    The plastic bracelet has no bad effects to human body and can always be worn everywhere even in the swimming pool.

    “Some people use narcotic drugs which harm their body while trying to gain strength. This bracelet has no effects but makes one feel relaxed. If someone usually runs 15 kilometres per hour, the bracelet will help do the same distance while the body is in good mood with good heart beat and devoid of pain in joints,” says Ezlas.

    Elderly and overweight people should use the bracelet to help balance powers, prevent rheumatism as well as hardworking people to de-stress.

  • Remote Estates is committed to help Rwandans own homes

    {Remote Estates, a subsidiary of Remote Group of companies which is widely known as an engineering, construction and project management firm, has committed to helping Rwandans own houses by developing modern yet affordable units.}

    This is in line with the government’s policy of increasing urban population to at least 35% by 2020, posing need for 56,000 affordable housing units to meet the target. As a strategy, the government has approved the fund for developers of affordable housing to acquire funding at a lower interest rate compared to bank loans.

    Having operated in Rwanda since 2016, Remote Estates has realized the need of affordable housing units and decided to venture into developing modern units which any interested clients can purchase.

    Remote Estates’ Operations Manager, Ido Herman, reveals to IGIHE the company has spent enough time in the country to know the needs on the ground yet few projects are in place to address the needs. Herman says Remote Estates will develop 270 affordable housing units in Masaka, Kicukiro District.

    The cost of a three-bedroom apartment with its facilities starts $35,000 (around Rwf30 million). The interior of the apartment is incremental to allow the owner to customize the inside walling the way they want. Self build is an option to keep the costs down, but buyers can also choose for a complete apartment.

    The units will be constructed using Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), the construction material that is widely used in developed countries in America, Europe and Asia.

    AAC helps reduce at least 30% of environmental waste and decrease 50% of greenhouse gas emissions as opposed to traditional concrete cement.

    Herman says that interested clients choose the best ways for them to afford paying the unit of their choice including paying in five installments with the first installment due at the beginning of construction works.

    {{Equipped developer to deliver on time}}

    While some investors start projects and fail on the way due to their dependence on expected funding which may not be disbursed, Herman says that Remote Estates has all the required means to deliver the project on time without waiting for any external funding.

    “We have heard of previous housing projects where investors only built 5 or 10 houses, and failed to complete the project. It won’t be the case for Remote Estates, as we are a private company capable to deliver our project without relying on other institutions,” says Herman
