    HeHe, Ltd. (meaning “where”? in Kinyarwandan).

    HeHe Limited is a mobile applications and internet company founded in 2010 by four Rwandan students from Kigali Institute Of Science and Technology. They were inspired by an MIT six-week mobile technology course, immediately teaching others what they had learned.
