Three old houses of survivors from Rukumberi sector were over the weekend renovated with the support of Rwanda Standards Board (RSB).
The three houses were handed to survivors on Sunday as RSB staff were commemorating the 22nd genocide against the Tutsi.
The director of RSB, Dr Marc Bagabe Cyubahiro who attended the commemoration unveiled that in addition to renovating the houses, they will continue providing support.
“We decided to renovate these houses since they were getting old. Our program of supporting survivors will be continued,” he said.
The president of IBUKA in Rukumberi, Mazimpaka commended RSB for the support but pointed out there are many genocide survivors still living in dilapidated houses.
Mazimpaka explained, Rukumberi sector has 120 families of vulnerable widows and orphans who survived genocide.
50,000 Tutsi victims were killed in Rukumberi during the 1994 genocide and are buried at Rukumberi memorial.
