Nature of Beneficiaries

MBWIRANDUMVA Initiative is a large family of girls and women collectively with their children, who encountered great difficulties during the April-July 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

This lady in the picture was shot in the chest during the 1994 war and fell on a land mine and lost one of her legs.
She was taken to King Faycal Hospital by RPF soldiers (Rwanda Patriotic Front Soldiers) where she'd been hospitalised for a long time.

She came to MBWIRANDUMVA with so many problems, including trauma. She is now happy thought still faces some of the problems. She does all her work with difficulties in order to support her 5 children and 2 grandchildren who live with her.

MBWIRANDUMVA has helped incapacitated women like her to start income-generating micro-projects to support themselves.

Nobody can describe the events that really took place during the genocide. It was too fast and wide-spread. It was too much and too painful. Some women are afraid to talk about what they really experienced. Others prefer to keep everything to themselves. This is even more heart breaking.
However, in all this sickening situation, some women have come forward to describe the mayhem that they saw or experienced.
