PAYING IT
FORWARD
Village and Savings Loan (VSL) participants used savings to buy rabbits, chickens, pigs and goats as well as plant crops. They paid 60% of the costs and BDS gave a grant of 40%. Grateful participants are now digging trenches for the government water pipeline to bring water from a well to a large holding tank.
CELEBRATE OUR IMPACT
My name is Ntahomvukiye Lucie. I am a participant from one of the BDS groups of participants called TUGWANYUBUKENE (Let us fight against poverty). I got remarried to a man who already had children. I came to his house with one child from my previous marriage. My child and his did not get along and I was not making it easier for them either. One child ended up running away from the family due to those disputes. I am the one who started changing due to the SLP and then the whole family changed. We get along now, and I even went to apologize to the child who ran away. Now we are friends and there is peace between us.
