Rwanda Ruli

THE RULI MOUNTAIN WASHING STATION IS THE FIRST IN RWANDA TO HAVE A FEMALE MANAGER, GLORIOUS. GLORIOUS WAS INITIALLY A FARMER DELIVERING COFFEE TO THE WASHING STATION, BUT WAS EAGER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS AND EVENTUALLY WORKED HER WAY UP TO BECOME THE MANAGER. SHE LOOKS AFTER 4 PERMANENT STAFF WHO ARE EMPLOYED THROUGH THE OFF SEASON ALSO. THE PROFITS FROM THE WASHING STATION GO TOWARDS FUNDING THE FARM ABOVE THE STATION AND THE KIRYAMO SCHOOL. BOTH THE SCHOOL AND THE FARM WERE BUILT BY THE PROCEEDS FROM THE RULI MOUNTAIN WASHING STATION. THE CHURCH DONATED THE LAND AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR THE TEACHERS, THE SCHOOL NOW HAS 380 STUDENTS, BETWEEN 7 AND 15 YEARS OLD.
