Forty-four vulnerable families in Kigali are telling a different story after they were given shelter as part of the celebration to mark the 26th anniversary of liberation of Rwanda.

The families from the three districts of Kigali saw Rwf336million invested in several projects to find them decent homes that were launched on Julu 3rd,2020. 

In Nyarugenge district, 8-1 storied houses worth Rwf228million were inaugurated to accommodate 8 families in Kankuba model village, Mageragere sector. Each family was accommodated in a-two bedroom unit.

“Liberation is not begged; it is fought for. Ours started back in the 1990s but it goes on with development ambitions,” Emmy Ngabonziza, district Executive Administrator of Nyarugenge district said.

“Without working hard for further development and defending what has been achieved, the liberation will be futile.”

The new 8 families of vulnerable Genocide survivors find 72 families that were accommodated in Kankuba model village since its inauguration in 2017. 

This brings the total number of accomodated families to 80, with 313 family members.

The two bedroom houses with essential amenities  are also a decent shelter for city dwellers.
