On Friday, November 14, First Lady of Rwanda, Mrs. Jeannette Kagame, welcomed her Kenyan counterpart Mrs. Rachel Ruto, at Imbuto Foundation, where she received a comprehensive briefing on the Foundation’s interventions in health, education, and skills development.

During the visit, the two First Ladies discussed shared priorities focused on improving the well-being of women and children, reflecting the strong friendship between Kenya and Rwanda, built on common values of unity, resilience, and community empowerment.

Mrs. Kagame highlighted Imbuto Foundation’s long-standing role in advancing maternal and child health, education, and youth empowerment initiatives across Rwanda.

Mrs. Rachel Ruto also toured the Eza Urugwiro Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre, where she was introduced to Rwanda’s integrated approach to early childhood care, learning, and nutrition.

The visit provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices in nurturing children’s development from an early age.

As part of her visit to Rwanda, the Kenyan First Lady visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where she paid tribute to victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

“Peaceful coexistence is the foundation on which strong, resilient nations are built. It calls us to honour our shared humanity, to embrace our differences, and to continually work toward a future where every community lives in harmony,” she tweeted after the visit to the memorial site.
