The cooperative TUKOMEZANYE COOPERATIVE DE MUYINGA has just harvested nearly a ton of rice from a small plot. The head of this cooperative sees it as a success with this first harvest.
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.
