Adenya

Rwanda - Rwanda Association for the Development of Nyabimata

The Association for the Development of Nyabimata was founded in 1982, notably with the support of Frères des Hommes. It intervenes, as its name indicates, in the area around the village of Nyabimata, in the district of Nyaruguru, one of the poorest and most isolated regions of Rwanda. It is inhabited by peasant families who survive on subsistence farming on small areas (less than 1 hectare per family on average) and with very little means in terms of access to seeds.

Adenya aims to improve the lives of these peasant families by increasing and diversifying agricultural production through agro-ecological practices, and by developing the technique of progressive terraces on the hills. The means: The association promotes collective work between farmers and the transmission of their experience and know-how. The association has about ten employees.
