One of the beneficiaries of these services, Mukampabuka Chantal who lives in Bugesera District commended the support he benefited as she is currently able to walk after an deadly accident she has survivors.

My current physical abilities to walk resulted from the medical support I received from the Rwanda Legacy for Hope.
