Christine remained alone and still endures post genocide hardships

She was five years old in 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. Her father Kagabo Patrick and Mother Nyiransengimana Christine lived in the  former Mwendo Commune in the Kibuye Prefecture.

As all her relatives were killed in the genocide, she struggles to live comfortably even if more hardships are facing her in Karongi District where she is currently living.

People who were living in the neighborhood of Christine told her that all of her relatives were killed.

As she was hiding during the genocide, a stone befell upon her, damaging her ear and hearing ability.

After the genocide, she was brought to Shyogwe( former Gitarama) orphanage from where she went to the Nyamishaba orphanage( former Kibuye in the current Western Province) in 2002 .

After completing her secondary school studies, she returned back in her native cell to find out whether a merciful family could adopt het but she did not find any.

Since 2008, the Sector administration sent her in the Bwishyura sector where she grown up.

She stressed the Sector authorities to help her find an adequate accommodation facilities but nothing significant has been done accordingly.

Afterwards, she has been given a house, which house does not have internal doors. She blames the local sector administration for the delaying completion of the house.

In these days she expresses her inner wishes to have a decent house which has doors and windows that could enable to feel secure and comfortable.

Her current living conditions are harder to endure as she is about to be chased away in the house that the CARITAS is keenly ready to take over, she told UM– USEKE reporter.

One of her close friends gave a loan of 40000 Rwandan Francs she invested in the street vending of clothes and she pays back as she gains.
