Cooperative creation that groups women to empower them through loan and saving system

and promote income-generating activities in Rutana commune.

In the framework to empower the vulnerable community of Gitaba,GRS selected 30 women who are poorer than others and grouped them in an Association the 20th of May 2023.After listening to their small projects they have,GRS gave them capital money for them to carry out such projects.GRS was monitoring the implementation of those projects.The main projects they chose were raising domestic animals such as pigs and rabbits.Others chose to do business in reselling tomatoes,bananas etc.

The positive results from those projects are:

  • Ability for those women to be able to buy some school items for their children
  • To reduce poverty in their families
  • Feel confident and not to rely on their husbands
  • Buy clothes for them and their children

Note that we selected few among many women who need assistance.
