Co-operatives are big in Rwanda and there are many of different shapes and sizes. I wanted to find one that was small and needed the funds badly in order to make a good start. I found one!
5 ladies in Nyarubande who currently work together to make a sorgum drink for local people. It is a non alcoholic drink that they make and then sell to local people to make money. None of these ladies own anything! They are all ready and willing to try to work hard to use this money for the benefit of all the ladies involved. They hope to be able to use the funds to grow their own sorgum by renting some land instead of having to pay someone else for the sorgum, as they do now.

I look forward to seeing how entrepreneurial these ladies can be when provided with a little support! I will keep you posted.
