Rwandans from the Twa community in Busanze sector- Nyaruguru District say they are poor because government development programs like agricultural development are not well communicated in their place.

On the issue that Girinka program as one of agricultural programmes in the country has not yet benefited the Twa, Fabien Niyitegeka, vice mayor for economic affairs in the District remarks that government programs do not discriminate but meant for all vulnerable residents of Rwanda.

Niyitegeka adds that Twa community are being prepared and trained to handle other better projects for their environment like piggery and chicken farming.

Nyaruguru district authorities say they are organizing projects that will promote social development among the Twa.

Some residents of Gatunda in Busanze sector reveal they depend on pottery which is not earning much in this generation.

Asiteriya Mukankusi explains pottery is heredity and they cannot quit doing it without another activity to give them small money for home use.

Mukankusi adds: “We are very poor and in need to develop but pot making can never get us anywhere. If we get land for cultivation and animal keeping, we can be better.”

Nyaruguru vice mayor stresses that most of the problems Twa people have are based on negative attitude. Its in that order that a health worker will be assigned to care for their social affairs and to help change their mindset.

39 Twa families in Butaro sector in Burera district have received 2hectares of land so as to cultivate and have food for consumption.

After being shifted from Nyakatsi houses in 2011 where they lived in poverty, the Twa have been settled in semi permanent houses in Nyamicucu cell in Butaro sector of Burera district.

After they requested for the land, Burera authorities bought them two hectares of land nearby whereby they cultivate and harvest grouped in cooperatives, authorities reveal.

However, the unprivileged say it would be better if the land is divided and each of them gets a portion and manages it.

We shall continue to help them because they are Rwandans like others who should not lag behind in development.

To improve on their mind set, the 39 Twa families were on June 28^th 2012 wedded in civil marriage after along time of living together illegally.

Maximilien, Munyampirwa, executive secretary of Butaro sector explains that mindset change was achieved after sector administration explained to them the importance of being legally married.
