Fiacre runs a basic goods store where he sells a variety of groceries and other items including: rice, sugar, and soap. He currently lacks sufficient capital to reinvest in his business. He also must travel a long way to purchase goods.

The additional profit from his shop will allow Fiacre to purchase food and clothes for his family. Moreover, his community will benefit from lower prices. In the future, Fiacre hopes to have a big shop where he can sell wholesale goods.

Fiacre's Community

The rural community of Nyamagabe is among the most densely populated regions in Rwanda. A large percentage of residents live in poverty, struggling to survive on poor harvests. The community suffers from an acute water shortage and poor hygiene, which lead to waterborne illnesses and diseases such as malaria and worms.

The majority of homes have roofs made of iron sheets or tiles, though some are simply thatched with grass.
Many children in child-headed households live in old, collapsing shelters that do not have lockable doors or windows. The community’s 13 primary and three secondary schools suffer from high dropout rates, as many children cannot afford school fees. Families in this region are still suffering the effects of the 1990s’ genocide that left many orphans and widows in its wake.

In order to improve livelihoods and create a sustainable future for families in Nyamagabe, World Vision is providing school supplies and constructing classrooms; building homes for orphans and vulnerable children; increasing income-generating opportunities through agricultural training and assistance; constructing water tanks; and providing HIV and AIDS care and support.
