A Summary Report on Second Year Groups in Rwanda

As of October 2017

The following report was submitted by Rwanda staff and provides an overview of the activities and

achievements all working groups have experienced during their second year in the ZOE empowerment

program. Following this information is some general background material about ZOE’s empowerment

approach to achieving health, education, and housing advancements. The 19 groups which began meeting in

January 2016 currently encompass 562 households with 1,682 children.

Trainings

August 2017: Training on income statements. The young family leaders learned how to track their financial

records to assess their business outcomes and determine if they need to redirect themselves into other

businesses or adjust capital investments.

September 2017: Training on household management. During group meetings, the youth discussed various

strategies for maintaining family property including houses, land, plantations, equipment, and livestock. Also,

they learned how to assign duties and responsibilities among family members according to the capacity of each

member. Through this training the children learn to value their belongings and thus derive more benefit from the

resources distributed.

October 2017: Health training. All the heads of households attended meetings which during this year primarily

covered reproductive health and related disease. Topics included HIV and STD transmission, treatment, and

prevention; symptoms of AIDS and STDs; and how to live productively if infected with HIV. The youth backed up

their knowledge with action. They voluntarily submitted themselves for HIV/AIDS testing which ZOE coordinated

with local health clinics, and formed “Anti-AIDS Clubs” which include other children from their communities.

These clubs increase awareness among communities using songs, dances, dramas, and games.

One innovative approach members of ZOE working groups took to promote better health in their community was

through the formation of football (soccer) teams. The children of ZOE and other youth have organized regular

football competitions during which they share information they have learned about preventing HIV/AIDS, STDs

and unwanted pregnancies. ZOE helped kick off the initiative by providing the balls. (See picture on next page.)

Agriculture & Food Security

Families in ZOE’s empowerment program progress from having to struggle daily to secure a survival level of food

to having the means to eat at least two balanced meals every day. They achieve this through the income and

agricultural projects they undertake. All the children in second year groups are now food secure. After ZOE

provided initial resources, the households created kitchen gardens, planted staple crops, and began raising

livestock. As their businesses grew or when they obtained money from group projects, they continued to expand

their agricultural activities. The following are current numbers for the households:

- 562 plant both kitchen gardens and cassava plantations

- 450 plant additional crops of beans, maize, sweet potatoes, and groundnuts

- 112 established banana plantations

- 378 received goats and 184 received pigs

- 495 have hens and 235 keep rabbits after purchasing these animals through their group merry-go-round funds

- 18 bought cows using their businesses profits

Group members helping one another create a kitchen garden.

Income Generating Activities: ZOE encourages the youth to have multiple businesses and to help their younger

siblings manage income activities. Where there is an interest and serious commitment, groups will approve funds

for members to attend vocational training to start additional businesses. The tables below illustrate the current

income activities.

It is not uncommon for the youth to combine their resources and

skills to begin their small business. For example, after training in

welding, three youth received startup tool kits and created a

group project making doors, windows, gates, and other metal

furniture. And below, group members create and sell their

woven products together.

Additionally, all groups have agricultural projects they work

on together such as growing and selling bananas,

groundnuts, maize, and various vegetables. Below, a group

Health and Housing

After training on hygiene and disease prevention, members in the groups helped each other construct 168

toilets with iron sheets and nails provided by ZOE.

Ten children with serious illnesses have received specialized medical assistance at hospitals because of ZOE’s

assistance.

Twenty families received emergency assistance for house construction and repair after unusually hard rains

caused flooding. For those who experienced the greatest hardship, ZOE provided food and clothing as well.

Special Award: ZOE kids attended a district partners exhibition where they showed their farming and businesses

projects. They received an award for outstanding youth project.

Highlighted activities and achievements of children from your Rwanda working groups during 2016.

The eight groups in these very poor regions of Rwanda have made great progress in their first year. These are

children who are either orphaned, abandoned or living with a parent who cannot care for them or their home.

Their extreme poverty has caused them to be outcasts—isolated from others and subject to exploitation and

abuse. No wonder that on the Dream sheets they create during their first ZOE working group meetings, most

children list child abuse as the thing they do not like in their community.

Another commonality among the children is malnutrition. These children typically have had to beg for food. Even

if they find work, they might receive only a cassava (root vegetable) for a day’s labor. They report eating as little

as four times a week. With poor nutrition and poor hygiene (due as much to lack of cleaning supplies as lack of

knowledge), most of these children suffer from treatable diseases such as intestinal worms and malaria. And,

although health insurance for the poor in Rwanda is free or of minimal cost, the children in their isolation are not

known by government officials so are not informed that they can apply for insurance. One of the early

interventions by ZOE staff is to get the children in touch with government services such as health insurance and

medical care. Until the children are healthy, they have little energy for cleaning their environment or gardening

or running a business. They also need to be healthy to attend school. Most of the children have dropped out of

school because they could not cover school expenses, needed to work to get food or were often sick. Once they

are no longer struggling with hunger and poor health, ZOE helps them reintegrate back to school.

In the year that they have been together, these young people have shared their stories with others in their group;

they have attended trainings on agriculture, animal husbandry, child rights, health, hygiene and nutrition. They

have worked together on their group farms. They have joined together each week for mutual help projects during

which they help each other dig and build latrines, clean around the homes or plant kitchen gardens. Through

these activities they have grown closer, become friends and banished the isolation and shame each had

experienced. ZOE provided grants of seeds, hoes and fertilizer and an animal, usually a goat or a pig. The groups

formed savings funds to which each family contributes weekly. When enough money is collected, the group buys

something the families need, such as a hen or rabbit to breed and sell. When resources are limited, the group

determines who has the greatest need and starts with that family. The children are now eating an average of two

meals each day—balanced meals of vegetables, fruits and protein.

An important connection that the children make through their group is to their faith. The children often avoided

church because they were embarrassed by their appearance and, in many cases, felt God had abandoned them.

Through the groups’ weekly devotions and bible study, the children reconnected with their faith and returned to

their churches. Now they witness about their faith to others.

Below are updates on specific children from each of your Rwanda groups. Their stories and successes are typical

of other children in their groups.

Jeanette is 18 years old and taking care of three sisters and two brothers ages

16 to five. Her father abandoned the family, and her mother does nothing to

care for them. It is up to Jeanette to support all of them. Since joining ZOE’s

Dufashanye Working Group, she has received a pig and purchased a goat and

a hen with the profits from her business selling cassava flour and beans. Her

siblings help care for the animals which are a potential source of income as

well as fertilizer for her garden and cassava farm. Her primary goal is to

finish her education. She asks for prayers for family reunification and her

business to be successful.

Esther, at age 19, has seen much suffering. Her father was abusive and her

mother was negligent. Esther was actually kicked out of her home and was

struggling to survive when she joined ZOE’s Duterimbere Working Group.

With ZOE’s help she was reunited with her family, and provided counseling

and connections to other people so that she could protect herself from

abuse. Her parents’ inability (or refusal) to care for the children meant

that her siblings did not attend school, there was only enough food to eat

every other day, and that the children suffered from both malnutrition and

intestinal worms. However, once Esther became a ZOE participant, life for

her three sisters and two brothers greatly improved. After ZOE training in

agriculture, the family planted both a vegetable garden and a crop of

cassava. She received the grant of a pig from ZOE and a goat from the

merry-go-round fund. Later, with profits from her business selling small

fish, flour and vegetables, she bought two goats and three hens to breed

and sell. Esther dreams of buying a cow, a very high status animal in her

community, but already the children’s status has improved as they no

longer have to beg for their meals and are able to attend school. Throughout her ordeals, her faith has remained

strong, “It is not easy to explain how I understand God’s love but with one word, God is enough for me.” She asks

for prayer for her mother to recover from an arm injury.

At 19 years of age, Adele has already experienced more hardships than most do in a lifetime. First her father left

the family, then her mentally ill mother abandoned them, leaving Adele to care for nine brothers and sisters ages

17 to two years. Because of their extreme poverty there was never enough food and living conditions were

horrible. Four of her siblings left the family to try to make a living elsewhere. The remaining children were abused

by their neighbors and family members. All they had was a house that was

badly in need of repair and some land. When she joined the Ibyringiro

Working Group, Adele was hopeless. How her life has changed in one

year! The family is now eating two meals a day with a variety of

vegetables and eggs from the chickens she is raising. She also has a pig

and a goat that she is breeding to sell. She has her own store selling

vegetables. With her group’s help and ZOE providing the roof, she and her

family have rebuilt their home and created a cleaner living environment.

Her faith has grown also. Adele said, “Whenever I am in the ZOE family, I

see how our God is great.” She asks for your prayers for her parents and

for her four siblings to reunite with the family.

Claude of the Ikerekezo Working Group is 17 years old, but his hard life and

lack of food makes him look much younger. His mother died when he was four

years old, and his father died four years later leaving him to be raised by a

grandfather. Once the grandfather died, Claude was entirely on his own; no

relatives willing to help him out, no siblings and no friends. He had to beg to

survive which further caused people to avoid contact with him. Through ZOE

and with the help of his working group members he can now take care of

himself by selling peanuts and eggs, growing vegetables and cassava, and

breeding goats and pigs. Instead of suffering alone when he contracted malaria

last year, he had the moral support of his working group and ZOE to provide

assistance for medical treatment. He is amazed at the changes in his life this

first year with ZOE have brought, “I never thought I would be integrated into

society again and am thankful for ZOE and my group members. I no longer feel

orphaned because I have the best family ever!”

Jeanette, now 20, was ten years old when her father died

leaving her and her younger sister Regine in the care of their

mentally challenged mother. Both girls dropped out of

school to work or beg for food. By the time they joined ZOE

they were suffering from malnutrition and malaria; Regine’s

malnutrition was severe enough that it had stunted her

growth. With her Ikizere-Mbuye Working Group, Jeanette

has found a place to belong and an opportunity to succeed.

She has worked in the group’s cassava farm, participated in

the merry-go-round fund - from which she received a hen -

and been involved in mutual help projects. With a grant

from ZOE she began a business selling beans and rice, which

has now grown into a grocery shop. Her dream is to have a big store. Jeanette joined a church where she is

active. About her change with ZOE, she says, “I used to work and labor for food but now it is not the same

because my neighbors and community buy food and other stuff in my store.” She asks for prayer for her mother’s

recovery. (ZOE has helped the mother get medical treatment.)

At age 16, Elise is a total orphan and head of a family of two sisters and three

brothers, one of whom was reunited with the family after being away for a long

time. In ZOE’s Ikizere-Ntongwe Group, her impoverished family has begun to

flourish. Like all ZOE participants, she was encouraged to diversify her sources

of wealth so that the family can continue to be food secure and recover quickly

if they experience a crop failure or death of livestock. Elise chose to begin a

grocery business as her income project. With the profits, she has also bought a

piece of land where she has planted cassava. Her siblings have returned to

school, and her dream is for them to complete their education. Now she has

the means to make that dream come true. She said, “I am so proud of being the

first to start a business in my neighborhood while before ZOE I used to labor to

survive.” Her prayer request is to be lifted up from poverty. With your prayers

and support it is happening!

Two years ago Philemon, now 19 years old (in the grey shirt in

picture), became the head of his family when his father died.

When his mother died the next year he lost her support for the big

task of raising five siblings, aged 20 to seven, and a two year old

niece. One of his brothers, seven year old David, has a urinary tract

disability and had not received adequate medical care. With ZOE’s

help, the children now have health insurance and David is getting

the medical treatment he needs. Through ZOE’s training and with

his group’s help, Philemon’s family cleaned around the house and

created a healthier environment for the young children. That and

the medical treatment have taken care of the malaria and intestinal

worms they previously suffered. The family has gone from four

meals a week to two nutritious meals a day. Philemon now owns

livestock, including a cow, as well as his business selling beans that

he grows on his farm. He is well on his way to achieving his dream of “having enough food.” His faith has grown

through his involvement with the Indatwa Working Group. He said, “God is so amazing. It is hard to explain how

the lost person can be returned into life. I am thankful to him and ZOE in general.” He asks for prayers for his

brother David.

Emmanuel, 19, and his two brothers, Gad, 10 and Seth, 2, were orphaned

after Seth’s birth. So, the teenager was raising an infant when he was invited

to join the Urukundo Working Group. Because of their poor living conditions,

the boys were sick but doing the best they could to find food. He was very

angry with God for how bad his life was. ZOE taught them health and hygiene

and with their group’s help, they cleaned around their house. They obtained

health insurance and medical care. Then Emmanuel was ready to work. With

other members of his group, he received the grant of vegetable seeds to plant

vegetables for both his home consumption and to sell. He also received a pig

and, through his group’s merry-go-round, a goat. He applied for a business

grant and now sells beans and sorghum, he dreams of owning a big shop.

With his profits, he has bought another goat and hens to breed. He enjoys

working with his group on its onion farm and benefits from the profit it

generates. He is proud and takes much pleasure from what he has achieved,

“Nothing feels good like saving your own money and helping the family to

meet daily needs.” He asks for prayer for the success and productivity of his

business and to be able to help his siblings.

The following report was written by the ZOE staff in Rwanda. It provides an overview of the activities and

achievements all working groups have experienced since their first meeting in early 2016.

A Summary Report on First Year Groups in Rwanda, October 2016

In January of this year, 19 working groups, with 530 households encompassing a total of 1,663 children, began

their three year journey of transformation through ZOE’s empowerment program.

Members of several working groups attend a regional training session on hygiene.

TRAININGS

Family Dream (i.e. Action Plan), January/February. During these first meetings, the children learned how to

develop an action plan for their family using the “Dream” approach where they express what they want to

achieve in the near future, what they like about life in their community, what they don’t like, what makes them

sad, and what will be their guiding principles to lead them to make their dream true. (More specific information

about ZOE’s “Dream” process will be provided with the first case study report.)

Income Generating Activities, March/April. The heads of the households learned about generating business

ideas, conducting feasibility studies, marketing, small business plan development and implementation.

Food and Nutrition, May. The children learned about different types of nutrients, how to create balanced meals,

what it means to be food secure, and about malnutrition and its consequences. They also set their own goals for

food security and nutrition based on instruction from ZOE. Specifically they learned: it is important to build up

stores of cereals and other similar foods which are diet staples; legumes and animal products are needed for

protein; fruit tree and vegetable gardens are necessary for vitamins and minerals.

Hygiene and Disease Prevention, July/August. These training sessions covered which diseases are caused by poor

hygiene and how to prevent illness. The children discussed and then agreed to standard conditions of hygiene

which include: clean body, clean home, use of a toilet with agreed adequate conditions (covered floor and

roofing), use of boiled and clean drinking water, bedding raised above the floor, use of a dish drying rack, weeding

around home, and not sharing the home with domestic animals such as goats, pigs, cows, rabbits, or poultry.

Additionally the groups took action by helping each other construct toilets and clean their homes.

FOOD SECURITY: There have been two farming seasons, one starting in February/March and a second starting in

September. Families in all 19 groups planted kitchen gardens in both seasons. ZOE provided them with vegetable

seeds and agriculture tools. During the months of May, June, and July, all 530 households received pigs. These

pigs contribute to the family’s food security by providing manure for the farms and offspring to raise for income.

INCOME GENERATION AND MONEY MANAGEMENT:

All 19 groups created group mutual funds which they use to loan money to group members for the creation of

new projects. Thanks to this mutual fund, all 530 households received a loan to buy either a chicken or a rabbit.

During the period of April through August, ZOE also provided grants so that all heads of households could start

small businesses as individuals or in small groups. The following are what they choose to do:

127 members started food store projects

160 sell fruits and vegetables

110 breed and raise livestock (goats, pigs, hens, or rabbits)

89 focus on animal trading (buying and selling)

22 make and sell banana juice

22 weave baskets to sell

5 work as barbers

8 are involved in canteen projects

4 grow and sell mushrooms

6 operated bicycle taxis services

5 sell fire wood and charcoal

A young ZOE business person trading in rabbits.

MEDICAL CARE ASSISTANCE: ZOE assisted 900 children with health insurance and paid the costs for nine children

to be admitted to referral hospitals and for special medication beyond what health insurance would cover.

HOUSING: During the months of July, August, and September, ZOE supported six families with house construction

and provided materials such as nails, iron sheets, and doors. ZOE also paid for the skilled labor of builders while

the associated group members contributed their labor to the projects by carrying bricks, water, and stones.

EDUCATION: ZOE supported 22 children in secondary school with school fees and materials while an additional

four received vocational training and start-up kits in haircutting and dressing.

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS:

There have been cases where children were abused by their relatives. ZOE assisted these kids in taking those

cases to government agencies in charge. In addition ZOE assisted these children in the court prosecution against

those abusing them. Unfortunately, many girls have had unwanted pregnancies, and so ZOE is talking with

health clinics to organize a specific training and education program for girls.
