ASOLATE

After spending two months in Rwanda, working on Asolate’s PPVV (Projet d’Appuis aux Persones Vivant avec le VIH), Hanna Perry, a volunteer from Vancouver, Canada, was awarded a certificate for her efforts to help the group of people affected by HIV/AIDS. Hanna will continue to do advocacy for Asolate, and hopes to return to Rwanda in the future.

Asolate has built a workshop, purchased tools, and gathered 15 technicians in preparation to launch the stove project. Seleman has been hard at work, putting the finishing touches on the house that will serve as the storefront, hold offices, and provide a community care space.  Twenty vulnerable youth will be trained by the technicians, to make coal-burning stoves, providing them with skills and employment. Coal is the optimal cooking option, as it produces less smoke than traditional wood-burning stoves, which is dangerous for the respiratory health of mothers and children continuously exposed. This project will promote the use of coal manufactured from organic waste, which will reduce the demand on trees, and save the time and energy that many people spend gathering wood and brush. These stoves will be sold inexpensively, to allow impoverished and single-parent families to have access to a healthier and more environmentally friendly cooking option.

Through Asolate’s PPVV (Projet d’Apprui aux Persones Vivant avec le VIH), and partnership with Vuza Impanda Ministries, Asolate recently purchased health insurance for 180 individuals living in the Kicukiro District of Kigali. Every member of the program is either living with HIV/AIDS, widowed, or orphaned by the illness. Health insurance covers 90% of all medical costs, including medication, and therefore is life changing for a vulnerable person to have. Vuza Impanda Ministries is a cooperative, which Asolate continues to do advocacy for, by helping the members market their beautiful traditional crafts, raise money to sponsor the children to go to school, and help them live sustainably.

July 6^th was an exciting day at the most recently developed Ngoma District training center, as the first 47 students received diplomas for successfully completing their studies in sewing and electricity work. The sun was shining, as students, staff, family, and guests, including the founder of Asolate, the Mayor of the Ngoma District, a local government representative, Asolate’s legal representative, and Asolate’s Canadian representative, gathered under the shade of a tent and listened to a number of touching and inspiring speeches, sending the youth on their way, reminded of the knowledge they have gained, and wishing them the best going forward.  Asolate will continue to support them and assist in gaining materials for starting their careers. Refreshments were sponsored by Vancouver Island’s Belmont Secondary School, and were enjoyed as students and families socialized, and took pictures to commemorate this momentous day.
