We thank God for all the successes we continue to achieve within our cooperative. From a small cultivated area, we were able to harvest a ton of rice. These were the words J. Claude Hategekimana, president of this cooperative, used to express his satisfaction at the progress his cooperative continues to make. According to him, the cooperative grew rice on a very small area as a trial, but it became clear that the harvest was satisfactory. This success in rice farming comes after that of maize cultivation. Claude Hategekimana believes his cooperative owes its success to the dedication of its members. TUKOMEZANYE COOPERATIVE DE MUYINGA has more than 450 members, and membership applications are increasing more and more. Its president, Claude Hategekimana, believes what encourages members and attracts others is the fact that the cooperative has already shown it can support its members and even their non-member neighbors. Medical assistance cards are an example of this. J. Claude Hategekimana asks AEVCPV, the parent association, to continue supporting them in their efforts to fight poverty.

Five thousand Burundian francs, comprising 4,000 francs for the CAM and 1,000 francs for the ambulance service subscription, is the amount paid by TUKOMEZANYE MUYINGA COOPERATIVE to ensure healthcare for each of the most vulnerable member families, as well as other vulnerable individuals in their community.

Mrs. Ndorimana Espérance is one of the beneficiaries of these cards. She is a mother of 5 children and was abandoned by her husband, who has been in Bujumbura for years. This vulnerable woman received a CAM card provided by TUKOMEZANYE MUYINGA COOPERATIVE, even though she is not a member. For her, this cooperative came at just the right time. “Before, I couldn’t get treatment for myself or my children. When we fell ill, we would look for medicine in pharmacies, and we couldn’t even afford a full course of treatment. But today, with this card, we can get proper medical care,” she testified. Ndorimana Espérance thanks the cooperative’s leaders and implores them to continue their support.

This initiative is in its 1^st year, but according to J. Claude Hategekimana, the cooperative’s manager, it should continue and benefit even more families. “As long as we have the means, we will continue to assist the most vulnerable of our members and some of their neighbors, and we even plan to expand the list,” declared J. Claude Hategekimana, the cooperative’s manager.

Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi, president of the AEVCPV association, congratulates the leaders of TUKOMEZANYE MUYINGA COOPERATIVE. He believes it is the most dynamic of the cooperatives that are members of the AEVCPV Association. He calls on the Association’s members to support this cooperative in Muyinga province by all means so that, in turn, it can continue to be the association’s torchbearer.

Recruiting from northeastern Burundi, TUKOMEZANYE MUYINGA COOPERATIVE is the largest of the AEVCPV member cooperatives. It has over 450 members and continues to welcome others. The number of its members is far superior to that of other AEVCPV members.

The Muyinga cooperative in northeastern Burundi produced over 4 tons of maize during the A growing season. This production is considered satisfactory by the cooperative’s officials.

For the A growing season, TUKOMEZANYE MUYINGA COOPERATIVE cultivated just over 2 hectares of maize. The harvest was good. Officials of this cooperative estimate the production to be between 4 and 5 tons of maize. J. Claude Hategekimana, head of this cooperative, which has over 450 members, indicates that their cooperative owes this result to the diligent work of each of its members. J. Claude Hategekimana thanks Alice Ndayikengurukiye, representative of the AECPV association in Europe. ”She spares no effort to ensure that the various cooperative members of the AECVP association move forward,” he testifies. The same sentiment is echoed by Jean Marie Bigirimuremyi, president of the association. Alice Ndayikengurukiye is fighting an unparalleled battle for the development of cooperatives in particular and that of the AECPV association in general, he declared.

For President Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi, the harvest from the various cooperatives can be distributed across the country to help vulnerable families facing sometimes acute food insecurity.

Jean Marie Bigirumuremyi calls on international organizations to help address food insecurity in Burundi through the development of agriculture and livestock farming.
