Where Dreams Turn into Reality: Get to know the Nyagashanga community 

In 2020, we established a market hub in Nyagashanga, a community in Eastern Rwanda, equipped with solar power, clean water, and dedicated spaces for local entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. Today, this hub supports nearly 1,300 households, fostering economic growth and enhancing the livelihoods of community members. Our work in Nyagashanga began through close collaboration with local leaders, allowing us to tailor our approach to the unique needs of the community. 

In Nyagashanga, hope is rising as villagers look ahead to a future where businesses thrive, children receive quality education, and families experience financial stability. With our Business Leader Development and Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) programs, the community has been turning their dreams into a reality. To date, 75 community members have graduated from our programs, receiving practical training in business management, savings, and decision-making. 

Hope, the hub operator at the Nyagashanga Market Hub, shared her excitement on community growth: “By working together with the right tools, we can uplift each other and create a brighter future for our children.” 

By focusing on local entrepreneurship, infrastructure, and cooperation, leaders of the Nyagashanga community are paving the way for a brighter, more prosperous future. Nyagashanga is just one of the many communities we proudly partner with.
