Isabelle Kamariza is the founder of Solid’Africa, a Rwandan nonprofit transforming food security and public health. Since 2010, she has championed access to nutritious meals for vulnerable hospital patients. Solid’Africa now serves three meals daily to over 1,700 patients across six public hospitals and benefits over 100,000 people annually. In 2023, it entered a Public-Private Partnership with the Rwandan government to scale this model nationwide.

Expanding beyond hospitals, Solid’Africa partnered with the Ministry of Education in 2024 to improve the National School Feeding Program. Through a sustainable farm-to-fork model, it now provides daily meals to 7,500 students.

Isabelle’s impact has earned global recognition, including the 2024 Global Citizen Disruptor of the Year, the Elevate Prize, the Cartier Women’s Initiative Award, and the Forbes Woman Africa Social Impact Award. She is also an Ashoka, Imagine Leaders, and Praxis Fellow, and serves on the boards of the Segal Family Foundation and Panorama Global.
