Rwanda, Week One

Geofrey, of the M&E team, on our ride back from work.  We live in Kigali and the Gardens for Health International farm is in Ndera, which is about a twenty minute commute. Every morning, we are picked up from our house at 7:30 and get in the truck bed of the GHI pick-up truck for our commute, and we come home the same way.

A bar not far away from our farm, still in Kigali. I can’t spell the name of the area, but the pronunciation is “chiminagatanu.”

Mama Ariane on our commute home. Arianne works at the GHI Ndera farm, and lives in nearby Musave.

Mama Keza, one of the two mamas hired by GHI to clean our staff house.

We receive free staff lunch every work day, made by the garden mamas. Because GHI works in nutrition, lunch is always delicious and nutritious, including greens, carbs, and protein. We grow most of our farm lunch supplies at the farm, including avocados, beans, lettuce, and leafy greens like dodo.

The Kimironko market has everything you could possibly need, from kitenge cloth and crafts to an abundance of vegetables, fruits, meats, and other goods.
