Huye women urged to embrace gov’t programmes

HUYE - Women in Huye District have been urged to use opportunities provided by the government to improve themselves. The call was made during celebrations to mark the International Day of the Rural Women at the weekend by Marie Claire Uwumuremyi, the chairperson of the National Women Council (CNF) in the Southern Province. Speaking in Tumba Sector, she advised women to approach financial institutions for loans to better their businesses. “For instance, women should take advantage of the Umurenge Saccos which can help them develop. If you are a farmer, for example, you can get loans through the cooperative which will enable you buy fertilisers,” she said.
