SACOLA and SINGITA Hand Over Two Homes to Genocide against Tutsi Survivors in Musanze
Date: April 29, 2025
In a heartfelt gesture of solidarity and community support, SACOLA, in partnership with SINGITA, has today officially handed over two newly built houses to DUSENGIMANA Louise and MUKANOHELI Jacqueline, both residents of Rugarama Village, Cyivugiza Cell, Nyange Sector, Musanze District.
As survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, these two women have endured unimaginable hardships. Their resilience and strength were met today with a powerful sign of compassion and support—safe, decent homes they can now proudly call their own.
This initiative is part of SACOLA and SINGITA’s ongoing commitment to improving the livelihoods of vulnerable communities in Rwanda. “This is more than just shelter. It is about dignity, healing, and hope,” said a SACOLA representative during the handover ceremony.
Both beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude for this transformative support. “We are deeply honored and thankful. These houses mean stability and a new beginning,” said DUSENGIMANA Louise.
By focusing on meaningful, community-based impact, SACOLA and SINGITA continue to strengthen local development and contribute to national efforts toward healing and sustainable growth.
