Jean Bosco's Community

The community of Nyaruguru is located in southern Rwanda, where the climate is temperate. Despite poor soil, most families depend on subsistence agriculture. Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are high. Some farmers grow tea, which is then sold to a nearby factory. Livestock were once a source of income, but cattle have been consistently stolen to finance the conflict in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was sparked by the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s.

As a result of the genocide, many children are orphaned and living in child-headed households. Families struggle to find suitable shelter; many homes lack adequate roofing and are in need of repair. Unable to afford school fees, children often abandon education and seek jobs. Though HIV and AIDS remains a serious concern, the community lacks the resources to provide adequate healthcare.

In Nyaruguru, World Vision is working to improve quality of life for community members by constructing health centers and toilets; supporting education through school supplies and financial assistance; providing building materials for houses; educating individuals about HIV and AIDS; and providing agricultural and marketing training.
