Giving citizens a home is about providing a foundation to build on and transform your lives. It is not about citizens becoming eternally dependent on government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to see those who were given homes prosper. You should not expect government to take care of all your needs. The next step should not be helping the same people over and over but to move on to helping others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed Horezo, the model village has 25 houses, a Twelve-Year Basic Education School, an Early Childhood Development center, a health post and a multipurpose center.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame told residents that access to infrastructure is their rights from the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess to electricity, water and other services provided by government is your right, you should hold us accountable and demand that we deliver.
