What we do
Msaada assists the people of Rwanda to restore their dignity and their livelihoods that were destroyed during the horrific genocide in 1994 by establishing self-help income-generating projects.
Currently, Msaada’s efforts are concentrated on a dairy cow project to enable families to become self-sufficient and capable of making their own decisions on rebuilding their lives.
This is done through the sale of milk from high-yielding European dairy cows which provide about 20 litres per day – up to 10 times more than a local cow can produce.
Why we do it
Msaada was moved by the plight of the Rwandan people, left traumatised and impoverished after the horrific genocide in 1994 that left one million dead in just 100 days of savagery.
Msaada’s trustees were appalled at the way the international community abandoned Rwanda to its fate at the hands of merciless killers and resolved to provide support for families, widows and orphans to enable them to take control of their lives and solve their own problems.
