Agriculture is an historical mainstay of Rwanda’s economy, with 70% of the population currently earning their livelihoods in the sector and contributing about a third of GDP.

Further, it will help them gain skills to create additional income through selling surplus produce at local markets. The benefits and implications of this initiative are far-reaching, as it will contribute towards improving the health outcomes of these families and their neighbors, increasing literacy levels, strengthening economic security, and even reducing gender disparities within rural villages where Rwinkwavu Library resides.
