During the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 almost one million people were killed. Many people still suffer from this national trauma. Especially widows and orphans live in severe poverty. Self-Help Groups (SHGs) help to improve the situation. The group members experience solidarity and empowerment and develop self-confidence. All of the groups save money and after a while the group members take turns in borrowing money to start a business or make other investments. (Project 67002/AE/12).
