Anglican Church marks 100 years of shaping Rwanda

The Anglican Church of Rwanda marked its centennial after Captain Godfrey established the Diocese of Gahini in 1925. The institution operates over 1,300 educational facilities and three universities that serve communities across the nation. Archbishop Laurent Mbanda said membership increased from 1.2 million believers when he began leadership to current levels that support 22 nursery schools and 14 modern churches in Gasabo Diocese alone.

The church administers three hospitals and 18 health centers, along with commercial properties, generating revenue to support operations. Mbanda oversaw the establishment of Karongi and Nyaruguru dioceses while Gasabo Diocese expanded from 2,903 members to more than 9,000 attendees. The organization relocated its headquarters from Remera to Kibagabaga, with facilities that generate 5 million Rwandan francs monthly through property rentals.
