The student Florence Mugiraneza is a genocide orphan who lives with her maternal aunt whose husband made it a point to abuse her every moment reminding her she is a burden to the family. When Mugiraneza informed her fellow students of the psychological abuse she was going through, they contributed to the cause of building her a home.


Florence Mugiraneza’s house was constructed in her parents’ old home that had grown into wilderness in Gasharu village in Butara cell in Kigoma sector in Nyanza district.


For Ezekiel Ngirinshuti the coordinator of AERG Urugwiro, the students prepared this project to support their fellow who was abused by her adoptive family. “The students built a house for her, a kitchen and a toilet.”


Florence Mugiraneza appreciated the support by her fellow students. “I at least have a place to call home; I will no longer be abused for being adopted. I am going to anticipate holidays like my friends, something I never thought before with joy.”


The students in AERG Urugwiro say they live as a team and one person’s problem affect all of them, they solve it together and when it proves to be complicated, they seek help from others.
