Success Stories
Real impact, qualitative narratives, and field testimonials from women and youth across Rwanda.
Habineza Jean Bosco — Karongi District (Murambi Sector)
"There was a time when I worried every day about how I would feed my children. Today, I wake up with hope, confidence and a plan for the future."
Field Narrative
Jean Bosco, a 32-year-old father of three, struggled with poverty and uncertain earnings despite holding a secondary diploma in accounting. In 2024, he joined the Climate Just Programme implemented by Duterimbere ONG in partnership with Trócaire and funded by the Scottish Government’s Climate Justice Fund. After receiving training in climate-smart agriculture and financial literacy, he invested his training transport allowance into a 45,000 RWF pig. Through diligent husbandry, the livestock multiplied, generating income that enabled him to purchase a dairy cow worth 570,000 RWF and expand into poultry. Today, his livestock assets are valued at over 1,320,000 RWF, ensuring nutrition for his family and long-term economic stability.
Uwiringiyimana Jean — Kamonyi District
"I used to think entrepreneurship was only for rich people in cities. Duterimbere gave me coding and agribusiness skills. I now run a solar-powered irrigation system that serves 12 local farms."
Field Narrative
Jean finished high school but was unable to afford university. He joined Duterimbere's vocational tech bootcamp, learning digital farm management and climate-smart irrigation. With a seed grant of 300,000 RWF, he designed a customized solar water pump system. By charging local cooperatives a small subscription fee, he has built a self-sustaining business and hired a technician.
