Forty-four vulnerable families in Kigali are telling a different story after they were given shelter as part of the celebration to mark the 26th anniversary of liberation of Rwanda.

In Nyarugenge district, 8-1 storied houses worth Rwf228million were inaugurated to accommodate 8 families in Kankuba model village, Mageragere sector. Each family was accommodated in a-two bedroom unit.
“Liberation is not begged; it is fought for. Ours started back in the 1990s but it goes on with development ambitions,” Emmy Ngabonziza, district Executive Administrator of Nyarugenge district said.
