Structure and Management:
The Good Fund operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, governed by a committed board of trustees. Our governance ensures direct, impactful interventions that are community-driven and sustainable.
Activities and Objectives:
Focused on empowering single mother households in Rwanda, we provide sustainable housing solutions and livelihood support through agricultural and livestock projects.
Ongoing Impact Profiles:
• Profile 1 - Sustainable Livelihood through Livestock: A widow with four children, previously living in a deteriorating home, now thrives in a rebuilt house with a secure fence protecting her two pigs. The livestock not only provides ongoing income through the sale of piglets but also generates organic fertilizer, enhancing her agricultural productivity.
• Profile 2 - Secure Shelter and Economic Stability: A single mother, living with her elderly mother and children, previously in an unsafe structure, now benefits from a secure home and goat rearing project. The goats have reproduced, providing continuous fertilizer and the potential for additional income through the sale of goat kids.
These profiles exemplify how our interventions have lasting effects, unlike one-time aids such as food donations. Each project is designed not just to provide immediate relief but to create enduring solutions that uplift entire families and communities over many years.
Feedback from Local Coordinators:
-
“The money is an answer to prayers of a widow.”
-
“You saved a family… very big deal mate even community members have come to join in for free so the money can be maximized on securing the house and fence.”
-
“Good news…the goat has had kids, and the woman is extremely happy. They can sell them or raise them for more fertilizer.”
-
“I was just told the pigs got piglets and they sold some of them to pay for healthcare and the house is as strong as ever….and family uses waste for fertilizer…the goat is also giving
good milk and fertilizer…she just checked on all of them and in recent rains the two women came home to report again on how happy they are to have a strong roof….they might not be completely out of poverty but they are in a way much better place….sometimes all we need is a little hand up!”
