The insurance vouchers were issued on February 22, 2025, following a community service activity (Umuganda) conducted by the company’s staff, local residents, government officials, and various stakeholders.

During the exercise, participants cleaned the Kigali Golf Course and its surroundings and planted 80 additional trees, complementing the 420 trees previously planted. The initiative aligns with the company’s environmental efforts to introduce a variety of tree species, including coffee, mango, and tea.

A Token of Appreciation to the Community

RUGC’s acting CEO, Gaston Gasore, expressed appreciation to the communities surrounding the Kigali Golf Course for being valuable partners in maintaining the facility’s aesthetic appeal.

“We called upon you to support us, and you turned up in large numbers. It wouldn’t 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’s important that our neighbours have access to good healthcare,” Gasore stated.

The Head of Business Banking at NCBA Bank Rwanda, Nkubito Samuel, highlighted the importance of the initiative, stating that supporting residents’ healthcare needs aligns with their commitment to community well-being.

“It 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,” he said.

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.

“This 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,” Kabera noted.

RUGC is responsible for the management and maintenance of Kigali Golf Course, overseeing various development projects, including the Kigali Golf Resort and Villas.

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.
