Restoring Hope in Rugalika Sector: Inclusive Mission for Health and Hope Donates Goats to Vulnerable Families in Kamonyi District

Kamonyi, Rwanda – The Inclusive Mission for Health and Hope (IMHH) organization, in partnership with Center for Health and Hope, has donated 25 goats to vulnerable families in Rugalika Sector, Kamonyi District.

The event is part of IMHH’s long-term livelihood empowerment initiative, aiming to support vulnerable households through the provision of small livestock. This initiative, which began in Rubavu in 2020, has already provided 25 sheep in Rubavu and is set to continue in the years ahead.

“The distribution of these goats is a sustainable strategy for economic strengthening, targeting the most vulnerable families, including HIV-affected individuals and marginalized communities,” said the Executive Director and volunteer at IMHH, Augustin Bahati.

Speaking at the event, Nkurunziza Jean de Dieu, Executive Secretary of Rugalika Sector, urged the beneficiaries to take good care of the goats. “We remind you to return the favor to others, to sustain your income and contribute to the development of your livelihoods and our country at large,” he said.

Divine, a beneficiary, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the community. “I am happy to be among the privileged to receive this donation. With time, we won’t be lacking anything at home – we’ll have manure for our gardens and be able to afford basic domestic needs such as soap, and health insurance, known as Mutuelle de Santé,” she said.

The livestock distribution aims to support families facing compounded social and economic challenges, ensuring that they are not left behind. IMHH and its partners remain committed to playing an active role in the cause to eradicate poverty in Rwanda.
