The German government has allocated €2.63 million to enhance Rwanda’s health and nutrition sector, targeting the creation of approximately 1000 jobs. This funding will support the Society for Family Health (SFH) and Solid’Africa, organizations committed to improving Rwandan living standards. Managed through the KfW development bank, this investment is part of Germany’s broader strategy to foster sustainable employment across several African nations, including Rwanda.

Solid’Africa, recognized for offering free nutritious meals to underprivileged patients, will use its €1.1 million share to inaugurate a training center focused on cooking and nutrition. This initiative aims to elevate meal quality for patients while providing valuable job opportunities within the hospital catering industry.

Additionally, SFH will receive €1.53 million to construct over 20 health centers, adding to the 80 health facilities already established in a prior phase. This expansion is expected to create numerous construction jobs and improve healthcare access by enhancing the professional capabilities of medical staff.

The agreements, signed at the German Embassy in Rwanda, signify a crucial phase in Rwanda and Germany’s collaborative efforts towards socio-economic growth. Solid’Africa’s director, Nassir Katuramu, highlighted the partnership’s role in expanding their food program nationally, in cooperation with the Rwandan government, to serve district hospitals across 47 regions.
