Ngororero, 15 February 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Kagame today visited Ngororero District where he met and addressed thousands of residents gathered at Muramba. During the visit, President Kagame also gave out cows to some of the district\u2019s needy residents as part of the One Cow per Poor Family Program.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the more than 25,000 residents, President Kagame asked Ngororero residents to use their land properly to improve agriculture and continue to fight soil erosion in order to solve their challenges.<\/p>\n

President Kagame said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cows distributed today through Girinka program is an example of homegrown solutions; let us find even more answers to our problems. Nothing should discourage or shake us; Rwanda has laid a firm enough foundation to continue to build upon. Before, we were known for genocide and violence but now we are recognized worldwide for good work and initiating homegrown solutions. Rwanda’s ‘secret’ is our culture of finding solutions within ourselves. We need to continue doing this and share with our African brothers.\u201d <\/p>\n

President Kagame noted what Rwandans have already achieved is evidence that achieving even more is possible and that the future is bright. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI promised to come back the last time I was here but now I promise to come not once more, but many more times to visit and I hope that every time we meet there will be more progress to celebrate.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
