The birth of Four Steps Hotel
The Four Steps Hotel was officially opened in 2007 and became one of Huyeís hot spots because of the services on offer.
Madam Mukamazimpaka notes that the original idea was not to build a hotel but as an entrepreneur, she spotted a business opportunity the city offered at the time. The city was very vibrant and regarded as the main educational and home Rwandaís cultural heritage.
Having acquired land, she had commenced to build some residences or apartments as was the norm back then, after investing in the construction she realized that people visiting Huye often lacked hotel services. She immediately switched embarking on offering hotel services which she wants to upgrade further.
A self made businesswoman, Mukamazimpaka started business after loosing her husband in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. She survived with her four children and had to provide for them as a widow.
ìWhen you don’t have a husband providing for you, as a woman you have to stand up for your family and raise you children, she observes.
She says that right after returning to from exile in Burundi in 1994, she started trading in food commodities, buying food supplies from villages to urban areas mainly to Butare town. When her capital grew she was able to establish a hardware shop, from a previous experience as a housewife who also attend a hardware shop.
As her business ventures prospered, she wanted to enter into real estate but luckily found herself as a hotelier.
