On October 28, 2025, in an emotional and inspiring event held in the Gacaca sector of Musanze District, Hope and Homes for Children Rwanda officially inaugurated the Ubumwe Community ECD centre in partnership with CANAL+ Rwanda. The new centre is designed to provide children living with disabilities with access to education, essential care, and entertainment. With the capacity to welcome up to 150 children per day, the new centre marks a major step towards inclusion and equal opportunity for all. It offers a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn, play, and dream freely because every child deserves to live, dream, and be happy. Speaking at the launch event, Cherif Keita, CANAL+ Rwanda’s Chief Finance Officer, emphasised that this initiative perfectly aligns with the company’s Social Responsibility Mission, which is built around three key pillars: education, women empowerment, and environmental protection. “This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to support the Rwandan community based on three pillars. We strongly believe that every child, and indeed every Rwandan, deserves access to quality education,” he said. In addition to the regular financial support provided to Hope and Homes, including paying school fees and providing school materials for children, CANAL+ Rwanda has also donated televisions and free subscriptions to enrich children’s education and development by giving them access to inspiring, inclusive, and educational programmes. Through engaging content, these resources promote learning, creativity, and joy; helping every child dream bigger and reach their full potential. Through this partnership, CANAL+ Rwanda is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to being more than just an entertainment provider. It is a brand that stands for education, inclusion, and lasting, positive change within Rwandan communities.
