"I want to express my gratitude to the President of the Republic and the Rwanda Defence Force for providing me with a new home. This house will significantly improve my life. I was previously in a difficult situation with my kids, but now I am happy to have a new house with electricity, beds, and chairs. I truly appreciate your support," She said.
