Kindergarten Mugombwa

At finalization of the project already 180 children were enrolled. During the project, the parents helped out to build the three-room kindergarten, due to bankruptcy of the construction company.

Water project Nyamagabe
-
- The third project of the association was a water project in the partner sector “Kamegeri” located in the township of “Nyamagabe”. It was a constructional measure “water supply system project for the provision of water to 200 families in the partner sector “Kamegeri”, in the township of “Nyamagabe”, which started 2006 and was largely completed by Summer 2007. It was even possible to chalk up a small surplus in the final accounts. At the suggestion of the Rhineland-Palatinate coordination office in Kigali this surplus was provided as emergency measure for earthquake damages in the west province of Rwanda.
„The professional planning, execution of the construction and cost usage control by the Rhineland-Palatine coordination office in Kigali has proven once again that development cooperation from ‘continent to continent’ can be conducted in an efficient and productive way. At this point it is explicit given thanks again to the single sponsor of the water supply system project for his donation at that time. The successful and fast execution of this project which also was supported by our Partnerschaftsverein (partnership association) assists the people in Rwanda directly and immediately. This is encouraging to also take on bigger cooperation projects” Sybille Hass-Machill as chair of the Partnerschaftsverein KARABA-Neuwied e.V. (partnership association KARABA-Neuwied e.V.).
