Shelter Them Batarure has raised funds to build 5 houses to shelter homeless vulnerable families. Thank you to all who responded quickly to our call as the urgency to rescue people in desperate situations requires quick responses. We are so much grateful; my God bless you all.
After the shelter project, there was a need to assist the five households to live independently which has compelled us to support their initiatives to set up the farming and saving scheme social enterprise. They have come together and built a farming cooperative and a saving scheme. They do farming project of maize and beans where they harvest twice a year. They do sell their harvest products and sell, and save the profit from the money they got from this business.
So far they have savings worth 1.7 million Rwandese Francs in their bank account. Seeing the progress, they are making, Shelter Them Batarure has continued to assist them to improve their productivity to put in place a harvest shelter complex including a meeting room, store room and crops conservation room. Shelter Them supported also the cooperative with clean water where a water supply company was contracted to provide clean water to this community.
Shelter Them Batarure envisions to see these families stand for their own economically and live a better life everyone deserves.
Poverty is not a curse; it is an adversity any one can overcome if one is supported properly.
