Take Part in Our Wellness Day in Kigali and Earn a Chance to Win Move Afrika Tickets
Access to quality sexual and reproductive healthcare is a fundamental right and a crucial factor in achieving equitable health outcomes — especially for women and young people. Yet, many individuals still face barriers that prevent them from obtaining the services they need. To address this challenge, Global Citizen, in collaboration with the Rwandan Ministry of Health, Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), and Imbuto Foundation, is launching a mobile clinic initiative dedicated to increasing awareness and expanding access to essential health services.
On February 15, 2025, from 10 AM to 1 PM, the Maison des Jeunes Youth Centre in Kimisagara, Nyarugenge District, will transform into a hub for health education, screenings, and vital services — all free to the community.
This is more than just a healthcare event; it’s an opportunity to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their well-being. That’s not all, you’ll be entertained by musician Plantini on the day, too!
