Health Insurance Upgrade
This year, we are upgrading the health insurance coverage for all TWB staff and their dependents in Rwanda. Previously, our bakers were enrolled in Rwanda’s Community Based Health Insurance. It provided essential coverage, but many women struggled to afford care and pay for prescriptions. Even with the health fund that TWB established to bridge the gap, it became clear that more was needed.
The new comprehensive health insurance plan gives our bakers access to private healthcare facilities, significantly reducing wait times and providing better resources. This upgraded plan also includes optical and dental care—important services that were previously unavailable. Additionally, specialized care is more affordable under the new plan.
Proper health insurance for our staff is crucial. It helps stabilize household budgets and ensures that our team members and their families receive the quality care they deserve.
