SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ON HOUSEHOLDS
Household income among members of the Humurariziyigihe has increased through diversified activities such as livestock rearing (goats and pigs), tailoring, and handicrafts, enabling each member to own productive assets and strengthening household. This has led to improved food security, regular access to health services, and better education outcomes, including payment of school fees.
WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT AND SOCIAL INCLUSION
Women beneficiaries gained economic autonomy, confidence, and decision-making power within their households. Formerly isolated members, including elderly women, became active participants in community life. Leadership capacities were strengthened, with women serving as president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary, contributing to stronger group cohesion and inclusive governance.
FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND RESILIENCE -SAVING GROUPS
The establishment of a Village Savings and Loans (VSL) system enabled members to make regular weekly contributions, strengthening a culture of saving and mutual support. Financial literacy improved through practical experience in saving, borrowing, loan management, and repayment with interest, increasing households’ ability to cope with shocks such as illness, and food shortage.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE HOUSEHOLDS
Members of the Humurariziyigihe gained practical skills in improved livestock management, tailoring, handicrafts, and small business management through hands-on training and exchange visits that strengthened learning by practice. As a result, members are confident to expand, manage, and sustain their income-generating activities independently, showing lasting impact.
