Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>As part of this year\u2019s national Liberation Day commemorations, QT Global Software Ltd., a Rwanda-based IT solution company, organised a powerful and reflective visit to the Museum for Campaign Against Genocide on July 11. The event brought together the company\u2019s young and dynamic team for a guided tour of the museum and an intimate conversation about Rwanda\u2019s liberation journey.<\/p>\n

For many, it was a first-time experience engaging directly with the country\u2019s history in such a tangible and emotional way. More than a visit, the day served as a moment of deep learning and reflection on what it means to carry forward the values that built today\u2019s Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal this year was to go beyond commemoration,\u201d said QT Global Software Ltd. CEO Vincent Ruzibuka. \u201cWe wanted our team to truly understand the story of liberation, the sacrifices made, and how those same values\u2014discipline, innovation, resilience\u2014still apply in the work we do every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The visit included a special conversation with Gen (Rtd) James Kabarebe, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in Charge of Regional Cooperation, who shared reflections on the mindset and values that sustained the liberation struggle. He encouraged the team to uphold those principles\u2014not through armed struggle, but through integrity, knowledge-building, and a commitment to national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s struggle is one of innovation, not bullets,\u201d Kabarebe told the team. \u201cIt\u2019s about gaining skills, building institutions, and continuing Rwanda\u2019s transformation through purpose and excellence.\u201d Also, \u201cIt is not about number, it is not about recruitment, it is about commitment, determination, and will.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team engaged actively with Kabarebe, asking thoughtful questions and discussing how to internalise the legacy of liberation within a modern context. But the heart of the day was not just about listening\u2014it was about connecting Rwanda\u2019s history to the present and future work of QT Global Software Ltd.\u2019s young professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me realise that passing on the values of resilience and patriotism starts with me,\u201d said Chaima Umutesi, a team member who was visiting the museum for the first time. \u201cIt\u2019s not someone else\u2019s job\u2014it\u2019s our responsibility to embody these values in our families, communities, and careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Frank Mutabazi, a senior software engineer at QT, the day was a powerful reminder of the weight that today\u2019s generation carries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the age they were when they liberated this country,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile our tools are different\u2014keyboards instead of guns\u2014the call is the same: to build, to innovate, and to stay committed to Rwanda\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n

QT Global Software Ltd, which was founded nine years ago, has become known not only for its home-grown tech solutions, but also for a company culture rooted in continuous learning and national pride. With most of its staff under the age of 30, the company sees its role as more than delivering software\u2014it\u2019s about contributing to Rwanda\u2019s growth through skilled, values-driven professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left the museum asking ourselves, how do we keep this spirit alive within our teams?\u201d Ruzibuka shared. \u201cWe want these values to be part of how we lead, how we code, how we serve, and how we grow. This experience wasn\u2019t just a reflection on history\u2014it was a challenge to our generation to keep moving Rwanda forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The visit is part of QT Global Software Ltd.\u2019s annual tradition of engaging with national remembrance activities. Still, this years’ experience marked a new level of depth and personal connection for many of the team members. And if the energy in the room was any indication, the conversation about values, purpose, and patriotism is just getting started.<\/p>\n
