Editor,

RE: "How 19-year-old Ishimwe fixed Kayonza’s water problem” (The New Times, August 16).

I want to thank The New Times for such an inspiring story. Testimonies like the one from Ms Ishimwe and her enterprise Iriba are inspiring to say the least. I hope our local banks will be proactive and happily seek to associate with such initiatives so that people like Ms Ishimwe can scale up their ventures and extend them to the rest of the country to impact more lives.
