About Rwanda

Muraho! That is how you say “hello” in Kinyarwanda, the official language of Rwanda. Known as the “land of a thousand hills,” this East African country is full of natural beauty. Yet many communities still struggle with access to clean water, reliable food, and educational opportunities.

Progress Update 1: Community Tailoring Center Cause.

Progress Update 1: Community Tailoring Center Cause.

We are very grateful to our supporters for supporting our efforts to empower the Community through Tailoring Center cause. After receiving this support, we held a meeting of tailors mostly women with their partners as couples, to prepare the implementation of this cause for which we had requested support, so that there will be cooperation and complementarity for their homes and avoid conflicts. The meeting was followed by the purchasing of sewing materials, buying fabrics used to learn sewing and buying sewing machines. However, there was some equipment that could not be purchased, including a generator, we are still sourcing for a possible supplier. We are also planning to spend on the trainer. The sewing training will be hired for eight months. After receiving the support, we immediately bought sewing materials, fabrics used to learn sewing and sewing machines. We have not encountered any issues, and the cause currently running smoothly. The trainees are eager to share their testimonies and the benefits they have so far gained from the cause. Many did not have any sewing skills but are now excited to have gained these skills. An example is a participant named Console who believe the lives of her family members will be improved as a result.
