The intombi group has been in Kirenge, Rwanda since 2015. intombi volunteers first set up the project “carrots make it possible” at the La Salle school. Out of this project an intombi group has emerged, which in the long term will be dedicated to the topics of nutrition and cultivation of vegetable.
The girls and young women have created a shared vegetable garden and are constantly expanding their knowledge of nutrition. Although the heavy rain in Rwanda damaged the crops in 2018, the girls were able to harvest carrots, cabbage and zucchini. The result is more than “just vegetables”, it brings self-confidence, hope and motivation for more.
We are very glad that this group is run by Florence, a young teacher from Kirenge, as a local intombi volunteer. Through her the work and the harvest are distributed fairly.
