Rwanda
Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent and also the most densely populated. There are about 525 inhabitants per square kilometre! Because of its natural landscape, Rwanda is known as the “land of a thousand hills”, and because of its history, also the “land of a thousand problems”.
Overview:
- around 14 million inhabitants
- in 1994, it was the scene of a genocide — in just 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered and 2 million fled the country
- an agricultural country — about 62% of the working population is employed in farming (coffee, tea, bananas)

33
persons in the country
We finance the education of
27
children of employees and deceased patients

Today we’re catching up with our hospice in Rwanda, whose patients are eager to tell you how they feel and how much being in Kabuga means to them. We provide shelter and medical care to people who weren’t able to receive help anywhere else. They would never be able to get this kind of care if not for you. Everyone is welcome here and loved. We try to make sure our patients don’t feel like it’s their time to die yet and instead focus on living life.
If you would like to do something for the sick today and support our amazing facility in Kabuga, visit dobroczynne.pl and gift Berthe or Claude a day of care in the place, where they feel happiest.
