Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking experience that leaves an indelible mark on all who walk its halls.

More than a historical site, the memorial is a place of remembrance, reflection, and quiet hope, reminding visitors not only of the horrors of the past, but of the extraordinary strength required to move forward together.

Celebrating World Women's Day

This World Women’s Day, themed DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality, invites us to reflect on how equality is experienced beyond screens and devices—often in the most unexpected places.

From local markets to village roadsides, these women seamlessly balance work, family, and community, demonstrating innovation born of necessity rather than technology. Their strength, intuition, and collective spirit remind us that progress toward gender equality begins with recognising and valuing the vital roles women play, one meaningful interaction at a time.
