RwandAir, the national carrier of Rwanda, has partnered with Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) to provide life-saving cardiac treatment to Rwandan Children.

Eight children, four mothers, one doctor, and one nurse will depart to Tel Aviv at 00:30 (local time) tomorrow morning on one of the first RwandAir direct flights from Kigali to Tel Aviv.

This partnership between RwandAir and Save a Child’s Heart became possible as a result of RwandAir's new non-stop route to Tel Aviv, inaugurated on the 25th of June 2019.

This new three-weekly service is operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with a Boeing 737-800NG offering 16 seats in business class and 138 seats in economy class.

With a fleet of 12 aircraft, RwandAir currently flies to 29 destinations across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia including Lagos, Cape Town, Mumbai, Guangzhou, London, and Brussels.

Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is an Israeli-based non-profit organization that has provided care to 5,000 children from 59 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and South America and trained more than 120 medical professionals from these countries.
