Muri uru rwego, havutse imishinga mito 3,017 yatanze akazi ku bantu 4,987, havuka amakoperative 8 kugira ngo abayagize bahuze imbaraga batere imbere.

Mu ijambo yavuze rifungura iki gikorwa, Padiri Oscar Kagimbura, Umunyamabanga Mukuru wa Caritas Rwanda yashimiye abafatanyabikorwa batanze inkunga kugira ngo umushinga wa Graduation ugere ku ntego zayo, by’umwihariko guhindura ubuzima bw’impunzi n’abaturiye inkambi.

Muri uyu muhango, abafatanyabikorwa kamara b’umushinga wa Graduation batanze ubuhamya bagaragaza inzira banyuzemo kugira ngo bigire, babikesha inkunga y’uyu mushinga. Aba bafatanyabikorwa kandi bamuritse ibyo bakora, bagira n’umwanya wo kuganira n’abitabiriye iki gikorwa ku mishinga yabo ibabyarira inyungu.

Karangwa Viateur, wari uhagarariye Ambassade ya Danemark mu Rwanda muri ibi birori byo gusoza icyiciro cya mbere cy’umushinga wa Graduation, yavuze ko nyuma yo gusura ibikorwa by’umushinga byawo, basanze abakeneye ubufasha ari benshi, ku buryo umuterankunga umwe atakemura ibibazo byabo. Yagize ati: “Ndahamagarira buri wese kuza tukishyira hamwe kugira ngo dufashe umubare munini w’abakeneye kwitabwaho”.

Madamu Richelle Haines wari uhagarariye Ishami ry’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ryita ku mpunzi HCR, yashimiye Leta y’u Rwanda ku bwo kwakira impunzi ndetse ikaziha amahirwe yo gukora ibiziteza imbere. Madamu Haines yongeyeho ko umushinga wa Graduation watanze amasomo meza ku buryo bwo gufasha impunzi kwiteza imbere, zikava mu bukene.

Uwari umushyitsi mukuru muri uyu muhango wari unahagarariye Ministeri ishinzwe ibikorwa by’ubutabazi MINEMA, Karabayinga Emmanuel, yashimiye Caritas Rwanda kuko yashyize mu bikorwa umushinga wa Graduation mu buryo buhuye n’imyanzuro y’inama y’abayobozi yabaye muri 2016, yareberaga hamwe uburyo impunzi zatezwa imbere. Nyuma y’iyi nama, MINEMA ifatanijye na HCR yashyizeho ingamba zizagenderwaho mu gufasha impunzi kwigira, ariko iyi gahunda ikahezwa no ku baturiye inkambi. Bwana Karabayinga yanashimiye abaterankunga ku bw’ubufasha batanze, anashimira abafatanyabikorwa kamara ku bw’urugendo rw’imyaka 5 bamaze mu baharanira kwiteza kwigira bakabigeraho.

Iki gikorwa cyo gusoza umushinga wa Graduation cyabaye umwanya wo gusangiza abitabiriye amasomo Caritas Rwanda n’abayifashije mu gushyira uyu mushinga mu bikorwa bize ndetse na gahunda izakurikiraho. Ibi byanyujijwe mu kiganiro cyatanzwe n’abayobozi b’inkambi, abayobozi b’uturere aho uyu mushinga washyizwe mu bikorwa, abahagarariye impunzi ndetse n’abakozi ba Caritas Rwanda muri uyu mushinga wa Graduation.

Umushinga wa Graduation uterwa inkunga na Guverinoma ya Danemark ibinyujije mu ishami ry’umuryango w’abibumbye ryita ku mpunzi HCR. Mu gihe cy’imyaka itanu watwaye  $3,066,640 USD akababakaba mu Frw 4.250.000.000. Ugamije guteza imbere imibereho y’impunzi ndetse n’abaturage baturiye inkambi. Mu gusoza icyiciro cya mbere cy’uyu mushinga, hatangajwe ko Danemark yemeye gutanga inkunga y’icyiciro cyawo cya 2.

Mu rwego rwo kwizihiza umunsi mpuzamahanga wahariwe kurwanya SIDA mu 2024, intumwa zaturutse mu gihugu cya USAID u Rwanda, ONU Rwanda, na RBC Rwanda zasuye Gahunda ya Igire Gimbuka wa Caritas Rwanda mu Karere ka Rubavu, ku itariki 2 Ukuboza 2024. Uru ruzinduko rwari rugamije kwerekana ibyagezweho n’iyi gahunda mu kugabanya ibyago byo kwandura virusi itera SIDA, kurwanya ihohoterwa rishingiye ku gitsina, no gutanga serivisi zikomatanyije ku bantu babana na virusi itera SIDA.

Izi ntumwa zaganiriye n’abafatanyabikorwa muri gahunda “Umuryango ni Ingenzi” (FMP), batanze ubuhamya bw’ukuntu ubuzima bw’imiryango yabo bwahindutse biturutse ku mahugurwa ya FMP bahawe. Bamwe bavuze ko mu miryango yabo hatakirangwa amakimbirane; abandi bavuga ko kurera badahutaza abana byagize ingaruka nziza ku burere bw’abana babo. Ababyeyi basigaye baganira n’abana babo ku buzima bw’imyororokere babikesha amahugurwa bahawe ya FMP, mu gihe abandi basangije abo mu miryango yabo n’abaturanyi ubu bumenyi, nabo imiryango yabo igahinduka.

Aba bashyitsi kandi basuye itsinda ryo kuzigama Duharaniramahoro rifashwa na Igire Gimbuka, rifite umushinga wo korora rikanagurisha inkoko. Itsinda rigizwe n’abanyamuryango 15 (abagore 13 n’abagabo 2), ryashinzwe mu 2023 rinahabwa inkunga ya y’amadolari ya Amerika 679 (asaga Frw 900.000) na Igire-Gimbuka mu rwego rwo kuryongerera ubushobozi. Uyu mushinga ubungukira byibura Frw 250.000 ku kwezi.

Abagize itsinda ryo kuzigama Duharaniramahoro babwiye abashyitsi ko itsinda ryabo ryatumye biteza imbere binyuze mu nguzanyo bahanahana, bityo ubuzima bwabo bukaba bwarahindutse haba mu birebana n’ubuzima, imirire myiza, kubafasha gukemura iby’ibanze nko kubona ibyo kurya, ubwisungane mu kwivuza no gutanga umusanzu muri Ejo Heza.

Uwari uhagarariye USAID mu bagiye gusura Duharaniramahoro, Esron Niyonsaba, yashimiye abandi bafatanyabikorwa bafasha mu ishyirwa mu bikorwa rya Igire-Gimbuka, avuga ko USAID iteganya gucutsa abagenerwabikorwa bose bahabwa inkunga, kandi ko mu 2030, uburyo imfashanyo zitangwamo buhinduka.

Mu nama n’abitabiriye FMP, abashyitsi babajije ibibazo byibanze ku kumenya ibikubiye mu mahugurwa ya FMP, uburyo abitabira aya mahugurwa batoranywa, ndetse no kumenya niba abitabiriye amahugurwa ya FMP bakwirakwiza ubumenyi bahawe. Kuri ibi bibazo, basubijwe ko amahugurwa ya FMP agizwe n’amasomo 7 yibanda ku guteza imbere imirere myiza y’ababyeyi, kuzamura ibiganiro hagati y’umubyeyi n’umwana ku birebana n’ubuzima bw’imyororokere n’ubundi bumenyi bw’ubuzima, gukangurira urubyiruko kwirinda imibonano mpuzabitsina rutarashaka, no kwirinda imyitwarire idakwiriye ishobora guteza akaga ko gutwita hakiri kare no kwandura virusi itera SIDA.

Izi ntumwa zamenyeshejwe kandi ko Caritas Rwanda ikorana n’abayobozi b’inzego z’ibanze mu gutoranya abitabira gahunda ya FMP kandi ko abayitabiriye bageza aho batuye ubumenyi bungutse, bahereye kuri bene wabo ndetse n’abaturanyi.

Mu ijambo rye, Keisha Effiom, Umuyobozi wa USAID mu Rwanda no mu Burundi, yavuze muri macye ku mateka ya gahunda ya USAID yo kwita ku mfubyi n’abandi bana bugarijwe n’ibibazo (OVC) mu Rwanda yongeraho ko gusura urubuga bitwereka uburyo gahunda ya OVC yashora imari mu miryango no mu baturage: Gahunda y’imiryango ifasha kugabanya amakimbirane mu miryango, kunoza umubano hagati yababyeyi nabana, no kubaka ubumwe mubagize itsinda. Ibi byatumye bashobora no kuganira ku ngingo zoroshye, nk’imibonano mpuzabitsina. Yavuze ko ibyo bimaze kugerwaho ari umusingi mwiza wo kumenyesha inzira zinyuranye duhagarariye uyu munsi. Ati: “Ndabashimira ubufatanye bwanyu, ubwitange, ndetse n’ubwitange musangiye. Nimuze dufatanye kureba ejo hazaza heza h’abana bacu, imiryango, ndetse n’abaturage mu Rwanda”.

Madamu Pacifique Ishimwe, Umuyobozi wungirije w’akarere ka Rubavu ushinzwe imibereho myiza y’abaturage, yashimye gahunda ya FMP kuko abayitabiriye nabo basangiye inyungu bakuye muri iyi gahunda n’abaturage. Yabasabye gukwirakwiza ubwo bumenyi aho bari hose, cyane cyane muri iyi minsi 16 yo guharanira kurwanya ihohoterwa rishingiye ku gitsina.

Mu gusoza, Musenyeri Anaclet Mwumvaneza wo muri Diyosezi ya Nyundo yashimiye byimazeyo USAID ku bw’icyizere yagiriye muri Caritas Rwanda kuva mu 2012 mu rugendo rwayo rwo kwita ku mfubyi ndetse n’abana batishoboye ndetse no kwita ku buzima bw’abandi banyarwanda muri rusange. Musenyeri Anaclet yashimye kandi ubufatanye hagati ya Caritas Rwanda na Guverinoma y’u Rwanda mu gushyira mu bikorwa imishinga itandukanye. Musenyeri Anaclet yagize ati: “Nidukomeza iyi nzira, tuzagera ku bantu benshi batishoboye kandi duhindure ubuzima bwabo mu buryo bwiza.”

Ku munsi wabanjirije iki gikorwa (itariki ya 1 Ukuboza 2024), Caritas Rwanda yifatanyije n’abandi bafatanyabikorwa ba Guverinoma mu kwizihiza umunsi mpuzamahanga wahariwe kurwanya SIDA ku rwego rw’igihugu wabereye mu karere ka Rubavu. Caritas Rwanda ibinyujije muri Igire Gimbuka yagaragaje ibikorwa byayo mu kurwanya SIDA no gukumira ubwandu bushya bwa virusi itera SIDA na n’ihohotera rishingiye ku gitsina mu bana b’imfubyi n’abandi bana bugarijwe n’ibibazo n’imiryango yabo. Uyu mwaka insanganyamatsiko yo kurwanya SIDA igira iti “Kurandura SIDA, inshingano yanjye”.

Ku wa 27 Ugushyingo 2024, muri Hoteli Sainte Famille i Kigali, Caritas Rwanda yahuje abafatanyabikorwa bayo mu birebana n’imibereho myiza y’abaturage, ubuzima n’iterambere, igamije kubamurikira ibyagezweho muri gahunda y’ibikorwa byayo bya 2020-2024 n’icyerekezo cya gahunda nshya ya 2025-2030.

Iri huriro ry’abafatanyabikorwa kandi ryabaye umwanya wo gushimira ubufatanye bw’abafatanyabikorwa basanzweho ndetse n’abo mu gihe kizaza.

Muri ibi birori, abafatanyabikorwa bagize umwanya wo kuganira n’abafatanyabikorwa kamara mu mishinga na gahunda bya Caritas Rwanda aho bamuritse imishinga ibabyarira inyungu bagezeho babikesha ubufasha bahawe na Caritas Rwanda.

Umwe muri aba bafatanyabikorwa kamara, Kwibuka Sostène wo mu Karere ka Nyamasheke, yasangije abitabiriye ubuhamya bw’uko Caritas Rwanda ibinyujije muri gahunda ya Igire Gimbuka yamushyigikiye kugira ngo yige umwuga wo kubaza inanamuha ibikoresho byo gutangiza. Akoresheje amafaranga macye yakuye mu kazi yabanje gukora aho yahembwaga Frw 30.000 n’ibikoresho yari yahwe, Sosthène yafunguye ibarizo rye. Kuri ubu yinjiza amafaranga atari munsi ya Frw 70.000, akaba yarabashije kwigurira ubutaka ku Frw 500.000 anatangiza ubworozi bw’ingurube.

Madamu Claudine Nyinawagaga, Umuyobozi mukuru w’ikigo gishinzwe iterambere ry’inzego z’ibanze (LODA), mu ijambo rye, yashimye Caritas uruhare yagize mu gushyigikira guverinoma kurwanya ubukene, anasaba uyu muryango kugirana imikoranire ya hafi n’inzego z’ibanze ku nzego zose.

Kugira ngo iki cyemezo gikemuke, Musenyeri Anaclet Mwumvaneza wa Diyosezi ya Nyundo na Perezida wa Caritas Rwanda, yavuze ko Caritas isanzwe ikorana n’ubuyobozi b’inzego z’ibanze, atanga urugero ko bugira uruhare mu gutoranya abafatanyabikorwa kamara, cyane cyane kureba abatarahawe ubundi bufasha. Musenyeri Anaclet yongeyeho ko Caritas Rwanda izakomeza gufasha abatishoboye no muri gahunda iri imbere: “Tuzakomeza gushakisha uburyo bushya bwo kugera ku bantu bugarijwe n’ibibazo”.

Perezida wa Caritas Africa, Musenyeri Pierre Cibambo Ntakobajira wari witabiriye iri huriro, yashimye Caritas Rwanda ku byakozwe mu myaka itanu ishize, avuga ko Caritas Rwanda ari urugero rwiza mu gusohoza ubutumwa bwa Kiliziya Gatolika bwo gufasha abatishoboye. Musenyeri Cibamba yongeyeho ko akazi muri Caritas ari ubutuma agira ati: “Igikorwa cya Caritas ntabwo ari akazi ahubwo ni ubutumwa bwo kugarura ibyiringiro ku batishoboye”.

Muri iri huriro ry’abafatanyabikorwa, Philippe Habinshuti, umunyamabanga uhoraho muri minisiteri ishinzwe ibikorwa by’ubutabazi (MINEMA) yashimangiye ko Kiliziya Gatolika ibinyujije muri Caritas yabaye inkingi ikomeye yo kugarurira icyizere abantu batabarika mu Rwanda. Bwana Philippe yakomeje agira ati: “Ubwitange bwanyu budacogora mu kwita ku mibereho y’abatishoboye, baba abaturage cyangwa impunzi, ubufasha bwawe bwanyu ku bantu bahuye n’ihungabana ry’imibereho n’ubukungu ndetse n’ibiza ni ibintu bigaragarira buri wese. Turashima uruhare rwa Caritas kuva ku rwego rwa Diyosezi na Paruwasi ariko tukanashimira umusanzu ukomeye w’abakristu igihe cyose abaturanyi babo bakeneye ubufasha”.

Abitabiriye ihuriro ry’abafatanyabikorwa ba Caritas Rwanda rya 2024 barimo abayobozi ba Kiliziya Gatolika, abahagarariye imiryango mpuzamahanga, abayobozi muri guverinoma n’inzego z’ibanze, abagize umuryango wa Caritas, abikorera, za kaminuza n’amashuri makuru, abafatanyabikorwa kamara b’imishinga na gahunda za Caritas Rwanda n’abakorerabushake.

Bijyanye n’intego yayo y’iterambere ridaheza, USAID Gikuriro Kuri Bose yishimiye gufatanya n’inzego zose za Leta mu Kwizihiza Umunsi Mpuzamahanga w’abantu bafite ubumuga inatanga inkunga yatumye ibirori by’uyu mwaka wa 2024 birushaho kuba byiza cyane. Ibirori by’uyu mwaka byashimangiye imbaraga n’ubushake mu kubaka ubushobozi bw’abantu bafite ubumuga. Uyu munsi kandi wabaye urubuga rw’ubukangurambaga k’uburenganzira n’uruhare rw’abafite ubumuga ndetse no gukuraho imbogamizi bahura nazo muri sosiyete.
