Friday 22nd March, 2019, the 4th and last day of the first ordinary assembly of the Bishops members of the ‘Conference Episcopale du Rwanda’, CPR in 2019, Bishop Philippe RUKAMBA, President of the CEPR presented the certificates of merit and good collaboration to SORAS General Insurance Ltd and Isango Star TV in recognition of their contribution to pastoral care. This ceremony took place at the headquarters of the CEPR.

Speaking to the representatives of these two institutions, Bishop Philippe told them that their intervention in the pastoral care of the Church is unparalleled. Indeed, SORAS General Insurance Ltd has paid 1,200 subscriptions in the Kinyamateka Journal, in the year 2018, for couples who use natural methods of birth control. These subscriptions "allowed the Kinyamateka newspaper to reach a lot of people and increase its visibility in the Rwandan community" acknowledged the presiding Bishop of the CEPR.

As for Isango Star TV, it regularly broadcasts the Sunday Mass since 2016 on the occasion of the solemnity of Christ the King. And every Sunday at 3:30 pm, it assures free replay of important events of the Church. Mugabo Justin, Director of Isango Star TV, said they had been broadcasting the Sunday Masses on their own initiative. But as a result of the certificate granted, they will do so with all the assurance of the support of the Bishops.

The General Manager of SORAS General Insurance Ltd., Fiacre G. Birasa stressed that it is obvious to work in collaboration with the Catholic Church because as the latter displays so many opportunities of Customers.
It should be noted that SORAS Ltd recently bought all the shares of "SAHAM Insurance Company" which, for a long time, housed members of the former insurance company of the Catholic Church in Rwanda known as CORAR.
