Rwanda just did something most ecosystems are still debating - It built a Kinyarwanda ICT dictionary with 1,700 tech terms! 🙌🏻
This is great! We are all about Rwandans building tech solutions for Rwanda at @RwandaBuild - If people can’t understand technology in their own language, they can’t fully participate in building it.

Rwanda Develops First Kinyarwanda ICT Dictionary
Rwanda has reached a milestone in digital inclusion with its first Kinyarwanda ICT dictionary, compiling over 1,700 tech terms. Developed by the Rwanda Cultural Heritage Academy with partners, it standardises digital vocabulary to make technology more accessible. By translating complex concepts into Kinyarwanda, it challenges the idea that African languages cannot keep pace with innovation.
The dictionary reflects a wider push to preserve linguistic identity in the digital age. Supported by the Rwanda Education Board, it will strengthen education, support AI development, and reduce reliance on foreign languages. As Africa’s tech ecosystem grows, such efforts highlight the need for inclusive, locally rooted digital systems.

Today, we join all in Rwanda and across the world in remembering the lives lost during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

On the eve of the commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, we solemnly prepare to honour the memory of over a million lives killed. United, we renew our commitment to keeping their legacy alive through our remembrance and actions. #Kwibuka32

AI will absolutely change the job market.
But Kigali has an advantage: We are still building our tech ecosystem from the ground up.
That means we can train people for the future structure of work, not the past.

This is why RWBuild was designed as a tech hub/startup studio, and not a coding school.
We train developers to become product builders and founders.
From emergency dispatch systems (912Rwanda.rw) to fintech (Guhemba.rw) and cloud (Murugo.Cloud)

The RWBuild-supported 912Rwanda.rw is an advanced dispatch and ambulance system that deploys, navigates, and manages the ambulance trip. The most significant delay in these ambulances reaching the emergency scene is caused by traffic blocking their path!
