Investing in social enterprises which support the Aegis Trust is one of the smartest ways you can help the cause. Not to mention the chance to make a return at the same time. By investing, you’re helping to strengthen Aegis’ sustainability and increase its capacity to help survivors and to prevent mass atrocities happening in the first place. There are some exciting opportunities for social investment with Aegis; our successful and growing enterprises involve handpicked recycled fashion in the UK and award-winning travel accommodation and services in Rwanda.
Key areas for expansion and development include:
• A Discover Rwanda Hostel in a fourth location.
• Possible introduction of a 3* hotel or affordable apartment development.
• Tour services, focused on educational memorial visits, transfers and experiencing Rwanda’s National Parks.
• Weddings and special events provision at Discover Rwanda Gisenyi Beach.
• A multi-purpose eating, meeting and culture space at the Kigali Hostel.
