Who Are Inshuti Familes

Single-Mother Families

From the beginning, we have placed top priority on sheltering single-mother families with no support system. These women are alone and burdened with caring for large families, often due to being abandoned by their husbands or widowed.

Hard-Working Father Families

We also place importance on rewarding hard-working fathers who try to support their families. Usually, these families dwell in dilapidated houses due to a lack of resources and jobs.

Inshuti Masons & Workers

Our vision is to build more than just homes; we are growing a community of Inshuti. Many of our house recipients are masons and workers who have been Inshuti employees for multiple building seasons.

Genocide Surviors

People who survived the genocide live with unbearable trauma and are alone after losing their entire families. Sheltering survivors provides them with a safe living environment, allowing them to heal and rebuild their life.

Jean-Pierre's Family

"I have survived the Genocide only to be a refugee in the Congo, but I always wanted to return to Rwanda to raise my children. Now we live in a terrible house with leaking roof and sleep on the floor."

Worries of a Father

Worries of a father

"I am an old man (42 years old) and HIV+ making it harder for me to do manual labor all day. I go to sleep sad knowing I can't provide for my family and worry how I will feed my children."

A New Beginning

"I can't believe people in America would care about how we live. I feel like my family now has the chance of surviving and my children will have a better life.”
