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.

SACOLA General Assembly – March 27, 2025

On March 27, 2025, SACOLA members convened for the annual General Assembly to review our progress, discuss future initiatives, and strengthen our collective commitment to conservation and community development.

We were honored to welcome distinguished guests from the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), including officials responsible for the management of Rwanda’s national parks. Their presence underscored the importance of collaboration between local communities and national institutions in protecting our natural heritage.

The meeting was a valuable opportunity to reflect on achievements, share ideas, and reaffirm our shared vision for sustainable development in the region.
