Kigali, May 06 – Alissa and Josh Ruxin opened Heaven, Kigali’s first international restaurant and training facility, in 2008, and went on to create hundreds of jobs, train thousands of vulnerable youth, and expand to two restaurants, two hotels, and a tour company.
Today, the entrepreneurial couple credit much of their success to their partnership with U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which provided insurance that supported their early expansion and gave local lenders confidence in their venture.
“Once you get the backing of DFC, suddenly the local banks are knocking at your door,” Josh Ruxin said last month at a virtual town hall to educate local businesses about the ways DFC can support their expansion.
