About Sofaru

SOFARU HARDWARE is one of the top hardware shops in Kigali, with 30 years of experience in construction, electrical, and plumbing materials, as well as WallMaster finishing products.

Established by Rwandan businessman and entrepreneur Edouard Ruterana, who doubles as its Managing Director, SOFARU started as a small hardware shop in 1991. It has since grown into one of the largest hardware stores in Kigali, serving the entire country.

With its main retail shop located at Muhima, Nyarugenge District in Kigali City, SOFARU is known across the country for quality construction materials, electric cables, tiles, water equipment, and high-quality finishing colours for both residential and commercial buildings.

In Kenya, Sofaru partners with Rhino Special Products Ltd, a factory that manufactures interior and exterior finishing products under the brand name "WallMaster" — high-quality colours used on the interior and exterior walls of buildings for a brilliant, lasting finish.
