The renovation was prepared and funded by RCA staff and in collaboration with Kiyumba Sector and Muhanga District, Ms. Nyiransengiyumva was chosen as one of the vulnerable survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in the Kiyumba sector, so they can give a helping hand, in the context of the 28th Commemoration of the Genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi.

In his welcome note to RCA staff, the Acting Executive Secretary of Kiyumba Sector, Mr. Bititi Olivier, thanked them for their contribution that does not only benefit Ms. Nyiransengiyumva but also Kiyumba Sector

“Kiyumba Sector is very grateful to RCA and its staff for your dedication and the helping hand you gave not only to Ms. Nyiransengiyumva but also to the Sector. She is now one of the few people who owns a nice house in Kiyumba, very few have a nice house like this. We, as Sector, saw that she was not comfortable in the house as it was falling apart but the Sector could not afford to do anything to help her out.”

Prof. HARELIMANA Jean Bosco, Director General of RCA, expressed his gratitude to RCA staff who have been generous and synergistic and the Local Government for the collaboration.

“The RCA family is happy to welcome a sister. We are also very happy to 'Remember, Unit and Renew' by helping this mother and her son be comfortable in their home again as we hand it over to them after renovation. I am grateful to the RCA staff for their dedication to making this possible.

I am also very grateful to Muhanga District and Kiyumba Sector for the cooperation they have shown us in this process, and we hope that it will continue as usual.”

Ms. Nyiransengiyumva Verediyana is a widow of 48 years, mother of one son. She lives in Ruhina Cell, Kiyumba Sector, Muhanga District, She survived the Genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi in 1994.
