RWANDA CELEBRATES 28TH NATIONAL HEROES DAY
1 February 2022 – Today Rwanda pays tribute to the people who exemplified and defended the highest values of patriotism and sacrifice for Rwanda and its citizens. Observed under the theme “Our Heroism, Our Dignity,” the annual celebration honours national heroes as source of inspiration for Rwandans to excel in all their undertakings.
This year’s Heroes Day is marked by His Excellence Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame laying the wreath in honour of Rwanda’s remarkable sons and daughters at the National Heroes Mausoleum in Kigali.
The Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders and Decorations of Honour (CHENO) was established to identify, thank, honour and celebrate the memory of Rwandan citizens or foreigners who distinguish themselves through heroism and other acts of bravery, and serve as good examples.
