Exciting achievements and an incredible life-saving story from partnerships that increase awareness and treatment of Non-Communicable Diseases in rural Rwanda.

Health Builder supported Maternal and Child Health week in Rwanda June 3-7 2024.

On May 5, 2024, Health Builders fellows hosted a successful Walkathon as a part of their Global Health Corps cohort project.

On May 29, 2023, Health Builders officially launched a new health center in Mwulire, the only sector in the three districts supported by Health Builders that didn’t have a health center.

On May 30, 2023, Health Builders officially opened three new health posts in Rulindo District to make health care more accessible to rural community members.

A snapshot of Health Builders’ impact across facilities it has constructed: 8 state-of-the-art health centers, 2 maternity wards, and 3 health posts.

The opening the Rugerero Health Center three months ago has been a welcome addition to this rural community.

With non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension being the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 70% of all deaths, Health Builders is following the lead of the Government of Rwanda to tackle the issue with a new approach.

As of June 2022, Rugerero Health Center is fulfilling its original purpose, to serve all the population of Rugerero Sector

Health Builders has built seven health centers from the ground up - with many of the paid workers being women from the local community. The health centers provide comprehensive health care to 250,000 people formerly without it.

The 2050 Sustainable Development Goal is to provide 1,600 health posts by 2050, compared to just under 500 today.

In Bigogwe and Busengo two maternity wards have been launched!
