This year, we have selected low-income families from Tabagwe to receive the houses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The families will be provided with houses, agriculture plots, and domestic animals to support them financially in their daily life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire village we are building will cost an estimated Rwf 400 to Rwf 600 million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rurangwa said that Nyagatare district administration intends to put to maximum use the available land and build as many houses as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Nyagatare is one of the most populous areas in the Eastern Province and in Rwanda along with Rwamagana and Kibungo.
