Solid'Africa launches campaign to enhance funding for patient meals #rwanda #RwOT

The campaign seeks to expand access to healthy, life-sustaining meals for vulnerable patients, with a goal to reach individuals across the country.

The campaign encourages contributions of all sizes, emphasizing that even the smallest donation can make a significant impact.

'We want to remind people that they have the power to make a difference with Solid'Africa so we can expand our efforts,' said Inkesha Ariane, one of the founders. 'Our goal is to reach every patient in Rwanda, ensuring they receive healthy meals to support their recovery.'

The campaign introduces a new partnership model, allowing customers to contribute through designated accounts by making donations at participating supermarkets, restaurants, and other businesses. Through this, customers can make financial contributions with ease, helping to support patients in need.

'If you buy a bottle of water, you can also buy one for a patient. If you purchase a kilogram of rice, you can contribute the surplus to help a patient,' explained Inkesha.

The six-month awareness campaign is just the beginning, as Solid'Africa plans to make this model a permanent part of its operations.

While the focus is initially on providing free meals to the most vulnerable patients, there is also a plan to allow individuals with the means to contribute a small amount, no more than 600 Rwandan Francs per meal, to support the initiative. This will help sustain the program while continuing to provide meals to those who cannot pay.

Currently, Solid'Africa provides free meals to patients at six hospitals in Kigali and its surrounding areas, including the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK), Kibagabaga Hospital, Muhima Hospital, Nyarugenge Hospital, Masaka Hospital, and Rwinkwavu Hospital (PIH â€" Partners In Health).

Kamaliza Isabelle, another co-founder, added, 'This is not a restaurant model. It's a solution to help patients access meals that support their recovery. We want the less fortunate to continue receiving free meals.'

Since its inception in 2010, Solid'Africa has been providing free meals to thousands of patients in hospitals, helping alleviate the financial burden on those struggling to afford food and supporting their recovery alongside medical treatment.

The organization currently serves meals to 19,500 patients and students daily, with positive feedback about the impact on recovery and strength.
