Kabuga Community, Rwanda

Malnutrition is a huge problem in Kabuga as poor soil, small land plots and an unpredictable climate impact family’s ability to grow nutritious food. We’ve been partnering with them since 2008.

We’re working to increase family income through diversifying crops and introducing new business to the community. With this new income we are teaching families the types of nutritional food best for their children so they can grow up healthy and strong.

We have already achieved great things in the Kabuga community by providing clean water and helping parents increase in their income to support their children.

We’re working with the people of Kabuga to build a community where children thrive.

We’ve been partnering with Kabuga for almost 10 years now and are starting to tackle the harder problems such as changing mindsets about the right to education for girls or early marriage. We’re focusing on building skills, hope and opportunity for Kabuga community. 

After these projects are complete we ensure all our work is sustainable, and that the community is set up to identify and respond to needs as they arise. We plan for our partnership to continue until 2022 when we will have delivered a multitude of skills and knowledge for the community to continue their own development.
