About Us
My Cousin Connection was created with love and unity in mind. We understand that looking into a new country to relocate can leave you with many questions and needing help finding answers. That is why we are here to help!
We have supported over a hundred families, all curious to learn about Rwanda, building a business, life for families, tax questions, cost of living, easy comfort, and so much more. We also have space for like-minded people to come and communion as we embark on new journeys in this beautiful country.
That is the basis of who we are, a “buddy system”, that supports the movement of expats to Rwanda. Our community honors the words…communication, optimism, unity, service, impact, and neighbor. This is why we value our role as “COUSINS” as we work in this global society.
“It’s simple. Here, you find a resource full of information about the beautiful people and the country of Rwanda.” – Jai Essence
