The village was constructed in 2008 . The village had neither clean water nor electricity.
Speaking at the launch of the houses, 36-year-old Claudine Mukarumanzi hailed Mininfra for the kind activity saying that they were incapable of paying for the rehabilitation cost.
“The houses now have metallic doors, new roofing while previously they used to leak, and our kitchens and toilets which were about to collapse are now renovated. This is a kind gesture which shows us that we have families. We will no longer go around swamps seeking water, we are happy to have clean water in our village,” boasted another genocide survivor, Thacienne Uwimana.
The villagers also requested Mininfra to connect them electricity from national grid for them to be able to create income generating businesses.
The State Minister for Energy, Water and Sanitation in Mininfra, Germaine Kamayirese urged survivors on resilience despite hurdles they may face.
She urged them on cooperation and to ensure sustainability of given infrastructures, she promised them on more activities.
“These infrastructures benefit people in general, more activities you wish will be considered so as welfare continue to develop the country in general,” she said.
Renovated houses took the budget of Rwf20,000,000; solar power system cost Rwf17.580.000 and water borehole took Rwf879.000.
