‘One Dollar’ Campaign step in the right direction
The spirit of ‘socio-capitalism’ which is very much part of the unique attributes which define Rwanda as a Nation-State has been rekindled by the latest national effort called to address a national need. Dubbed the ‘One Dollar’ campaign, the inaugural launch comes at a time when the nation is gearing up for the 15th commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsis. Part of this unique attribute brings together both local citizens and mostly, the Rwandan Diaspora, to answer calls of support to those in need in the society. The inaugural campaign has an ambitious agenda. Pooling Rwf.1.5 Billion for the purposes of constructing shelter for the school-going Genocide survivors can only be described as a higher form of what the formal sector refers to as ‘social responsibility’.
