Two projects. One founder. One purpose. A place where people recover with dignity in Kigali, and the conversations that explain why it matters.
A place where people recover with dignity after illness, surgery, or the long middle ground between hospital and home. East Africa's first therapeutic living and rehabilitation centre, designed around the person receiving care, and the family surrounding them. 24 beds. Bumbogo, Kigali.
The conversation alongside the facility. Stories of caregiving, aging with dignity, and the quiet work of keeping people we love intact. Hosted by someone who has navigated these systems from the inside, in two countries, as a caregiver and as a healthcare coordinator. Not a clinician. Something more useful: a guide who has already made the journey.
Five months in Kigali with a mother. Years navigating a system that was never designed for either of them. The particular texture of care: the long silences, the slow meals, the way it reorganises your sense of what matters.
ACGE Kigali C and Kaningili's Corner are two expressions of the same conviction: that the infrastructure for dignified aging does not yet exist in East Africa, and that the conversation about why it matters does not yet have a home. This is both.
Pronunciation Kaningili is pronounced Kah-neen-ghee-lee. Four syllables, equal stress. It is a Kinyarwanda nickname meaning tiny, given by a grandmother. From the smallest beginning.
A 24-bed therapeutic living and rehabilitation facility in Bumbogo, Kigali. Passively cooled, solar-ready, designed for the climate and for the people. Aligned with Rwanda's national health strategy and built for the long term.
A podcast about aging, caregiving, and the quiet work of keeping people we love intact. For people who are living this now. For people who want to understand it before they have to. In English and in French.
A healthcare professional who spent years inside the system as a caregiver and a coordinator, and decided to build what was missing. Someone who learned early how to hold her ground, and has been applying that quality to every room she has walked into since.
The facility is in development. The podcast is coming. Leave your email and we will reach out when there is something to show you. No noise in between.
