Buildings exposed to flood risk
687 buildings
Whole Kigali · modelled · current land use · 100-year flood
The SAVi assessment models exposure across whole Kigali using current land use and a 100-year flood scenario. These are buildings at risk, not buildings protected by SUNCASA.
Where does the model find flood exposure?
Whole Kigali, current land use, 100-year flood scenario. The numbers describe infrastructure exposed to flooding, not buildings or roads protected by the programme.
Each bar shows exposure within its own infrastructure total.

| Buildings at risk | 687 / 229,094 | buildings | Modelled | 2026-01-20 | Read source A 100-year flood has a 1% annual probability in the model; it does not mean a flood occurs only once every century. |

Population and programme estimates
These are independent published quantities, not parts of a single coverage ratio.

- Estimated direct beneficiaries
- Around 17,000 people
Why this matters
Exposure estimates help explain why drainage, hillside and river restoration matter. They do not show observed flood damage or predict the date of a flood.
