The cows were given through Rwanda Dairy Development Project under Rwanda Agricultural Board which continues its support to Girinka Program. <\/p>\n
Olive Yamfashije, a beneficiary from Kabarondo Sector told IGIHE that she is going to get rid of malnutrition-related diseases from her household. <\/p>\n
“From now on, there will be no more kwashiorkor in my house. This cow is going to give me manure and milk. You understand that I have already developed. I’m wondering how many people I would have to cultivate for in return for money to buy my own cow.” She said. <\/p>\n
Pierre Buhirike, 58, a resident of Ndego Sector who was also given a cow said it is a treasured contribution because he is going to drink milk in his old age. <\/p>\n
“Usually, I would find milk to drink from neighbours. But for now, I am glad that I will be getting manure and my family will drink milk. ”<\/p>\n
Buhirike expressed gratitude to the President Paul Kagame for the Girinka initiative, political stability, security and peace. <\/p>\n
Kayonza District mayor, Jean Claude Murenzi urged residents who were given the cows to take good care of them to give heifers to other vulnerable residents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
