Many of the people of Kunda who have to feed a family, were not able to visit a school and therefore are not able to carry out a qualified job. The majority is importing goods from D.R. Congo, where they buy it without taxes. This is not legal and if they are caught by the police, they will be imprisoned. We like to help them gaining skills in tailoring, handcrafting and farming. What we need is a seed capital to start with buying animals and materials!
Kunda village independent economic workshop
In this project, we help women to sell their baskets, shoulder bags, clothes and wax print so that they can earn money for developing their homes, daily life and send their kids to school.
Extra benefits will be provided as school fees for children who doesn’t have sponsors to join school.
About the worker:
Her name is Albertine, I met her through connecting sponsorship for child. She had only one room for a living, it was not enough even though she get the sponsorship for the child, and she was also going to D.R.C (Democratic Republic of Congo) for the money. At first, Andres donated the first sewing machine and some fabrics so I came up with the idea of bag store. I helped her open up the place, and thankfully Pamela, my friend taught her how to make a bag. So until now, we are keeping the store, but we cannot sell many since the benefits comes only from the volunteers who visit here, and some online order at Facebook. contact us if you want to order you bag.
About founder and Director of Project.
Founder and Director: Emmanuel Dushimirimana
My name is Emmanuel, I lost my parents by the genocide in Rwanda when he was only 2 weeks old. I grew up at Noel Nyundo Orphanage, which was closed in 2012. At that time I was in Secondary 3, but without the financial support of the orphanage, I was not able to finish my education. Now I earns money by making videos and selling paintings, photographs. I used to live with an elderly woman who adopted me, but no longer any more.
When I find out that most of our community and poor families cannot offer the young orphans a place to stay, I decided to help them and establish a sponsorship program for children and poor women.
Project name: Kunda village independent economic workshop
I have a big project, named KUNDA VILLAGE MINISTRY for helping the orphanage children, but this is the expended version of the project for the whole community. So what I want to introduce now, is this independent economic workshop project, by helping the poor women to run their own bag store.
This program was started by EMMANUEL DYLAN the owner and founder of KUNDA VILLAGE MINISTRY (NGO), In this project, we help women to sell their baskets, shoulder bags, clothes and wax print so that they can earn money for developing their homes, daily life and send their kids to school. Extra benefits will be provided as school fees for children who doesn’t have sponsors to join school.
>> I want to help our community because I know the struggle of growing up without parents and also I received help from our community. It's the best feeling when I see their happiness and thankful smiles. <<
HOW THE PRICES AND BENIFIST GOES
Shipping will cost depend on the weight, from $15 to $35, and for the fabric $5, and for extra benefits will go to women,
If there is more extra, it will go to children without sponsorship, pay for the rent fee for the store, and for making more bags for the later days so she can continue her store.
And that means you will help women to work in the bag store continually instead of going to D.R.C (Democratic Republic of Congo) for looking money to feed family. It is not safe for them wandering around the border.
You can order your bag to send more than two children to school for one term.
We are sure if you donate for one sewing machine you will be supporting one child to go to school and giving two children school materials through making bags and more things to sell them for this community. Including Albertine, one more machine can make one more women work on sewing every day to make money for child and support two children to have school materials.

In order to give the families of Kunda another lasting source of income we would like to establish pig farming in the village. Pigs don't need expensive care and are easy to handle. Each female pig can give birth to 4-10 piglets at least two times a year. We intend to sell those piglets when they are old enough.
Price of one female pig: 80.000 frw
Price of a piglet (2 months old): up to 30.000 frw
If you are interested in helping poor families getting a chance to develope themselves, don't hesitate to contact us for further details!
The houses in the village are in a very bad condition and some are already close to collapsing. If the families had a proper income, they could renew them.
