The visit was an opportunity to see firsthand how these initiatives are improving people's lives, while also listening to community members about the benefits they are experiencing and the challenges that still need to be addressed.

At GS Nyinawimana School in District, the Humura Shenge project has created a safe space where adolescent girls and boys can come together to learn, share experiences, and discuss important topics affecting their lives.

Making the most of this space, the school’s Gender Club, a student-led group that promotes gender equality, positive relationships, and life skills, organized discussions, dance, and drama performances to raise awareness about preventing unintended pregnancies and making informed choices for the future.

Through these activities, students reflected on self-confidence, respect, personal goals, and healthy decision-making, while encouraging one another to resist negative peer pressure and seek guidance from trusted adults when needed.

This project is supported by Support International e.V. and implemented by AVSI Rwanda.

Beyond meetings and discussions, the visit created space to listen directly to farmers about the changes happening in their lives and the challenges they still face.

Through training, savings groups, and improved farming practices, many farmers are now increasing harvests, protecting their soils, starting small businesses, and supporting their families with school materials, school feeding, and mutuelle de sante.

At the same time, communities shared concerns about climate change, especially heavy rains and hailstorms that damaged crops, as well as limited storage facilities for produce like potatoes.

The project implemented by AVSI Rwanda with support from the European Union. Representatives from Ministry of Agriculture and Animal , Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board also participated.
