In a powerful act of corporate social responsibility, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a business of Cassava Technologies, has once again renewed its pledge to support Rwanda’s historical preservation efforts. Recently, the company contributed US$100,000 to the Imbuto Foundation, marking the fourth consecutive annual donation. Moreover, this effort forms part of a decade-long, US$1 million commitment to honoring the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and safeguarding Rwanda’s heritage.
A Partnership Rooted in Remembrance
The Imbuto Foundation, founded by Rwanda’s First Lady, Her Excellency Mrs. Jeannette Kagame, stands as a symbol of resilience and unity in the aftermath of national tragedy. Consequently, through its enduring partnership with the foundation, Liquid demonstrates its dedication to supporting the Government of Rwanda in memorialization efforts. According to Mr. Sam Nkusi, Executive Chairman of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Rwanda, “Protecting the memory of the genocide against the Tutsi is essential to our nation’s collective healing and resilience.”
Furthermore, Liquid’s contribution not only strengthens the foundation’s ability to preserve history but also ensures that future generations inherit an accurate record of the country’s past. By combining remembrance with technology, this collaboration clearly emphasizes how innovation can play a crucial role in national healing.
Preserving History for Future Generations
Over the years, the company’s annual donations have consistently enhanced the capacity of Rwanda’s genocide memorials through the integration of digital tools. As a result, these efforts support documentation, archiving, and research, making it possible for both Rwandans and global visitors to engage with authentic historical records. In addition, such initiatives guarantee that the legacy of resilience and lessons of the past remain accessible to all.
By protecting artifacts and evidence, Liquid’s support reinforces Rwanda’s cultural identity and also promotes a culture of remembrance. At the same time, it emphasizes how businesses can play a transformative role in building stronger societies through socially conscious investments.
Empowering a Digital Future
While remembrance remains central to Liquid’s contribution, the company’s broader vision extends directly to Rwanda’s digital future. For example, through initiatives such as free public internet access in key locations, Liquid is bridging digital divides and enabling equal opportunities for students, entrepreneurs, and communities. In this way, by expanding digital literacy and connectivity, the company is equipping Rwandans with the tools they need to thrive in a knowledge-driven global economy.
Ultimately, Liquid’s US$1 million, ten-year pledge to the Imbuto Foundation is a clear testament to the company’s long-term commitment to preserving Rwanda’s history while promoting digital transformation. As Rwanda continues to navigate its path towards healing and resilience, Liquid’s contribution therefore serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating the importance of corporate social responsibility in shaping a nation’s future.
