Cyayove village, Huye, Rwanda, July 2011: Patricia Nakabonye, 60, lives alone. Her husband and nine children were killed in the 1994 genocide. She was hit with a machete and left for dead and awoke to find herself under a pile of bodies.
She gets the small stipend for genocide survivors. She has been ia beneficiary of a project for poor farmers run ALDI, a local NGO, with funding from the Irish aid agency Concern Worldwide. The training she received gave her confidence to carry on. She now gets a good yield from her land.
'I had many cows before the genocide and they were all eaten, so when ALDI gave me this cow I was really happy about it.
I use the manure on my fields and now I get good yields. I also get a litre of milk a day.'
