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.

Check out this progress update from a church who completed their cause.

Parents grind their own sorghum

Progress update for growing growing sorghum and selling its flour

Currently, the families who received support to grow sorghum have received it and have already started using it effectively in their farming activities. In addition, other families have organized themselves into caregivers associations and are cultivating sorghum on large pieces of land, demonstrating strong teamwork and cooperation aimed at increasing production. This gives hope that the harvest will be both abundant and satisfactory, benefiting the families as well as the project overall. Another significant development is that the church has issued a tender to purchase a milling machine that will be used to grind the sorghum. This machine will help add value to the sorghum harvest, reduce losses that previously occurred when selling unprocessed produce, and create employment opportunities within the community (society). There will be individuals responsible for operating, managing, and supporting the processing of sorghum flour. Furthermore, parents are in the final stages of constructing a storage facility where they will keep their harvest before taking it to the market. This will help preserve the produce properly, prevent post-harvest losses, and avoid selling at low prices due to urgency. It will also enable them to sell at the right time and at better prices. Additionally, the parents gather together to pray and study the Word of God
