• Soap Factory, we will ensure a higher income for the city by establishing cooperation with American Pacha Soap, on production of 10,000 pieces of soap per. month to be distributed (for free – donation through the American Soap Company) to 9 surrounding schools. Here, students also will be taught in the importance of having a good hand hygiene. Agreements are concluded with school directors, and we expect to increase the production in May with another 2,000 pieces of soap, so about 21 schools with a total of 22,000 pupils have daily access to soap, and thus to increase their hygiene much, and reduced cases of diarrhea and bacterial diseases which will result in lower absenteeism in education.

• Implement registration of birth certificates, as well as papers on marriage. The lack of records have serious consequences. This often results in the woman being kicked "out on the street". The same problem applies to children without a birth certificate. They are non-existent. We will do the registration in cooperation with the municipality and the authorities at Rugombo Commune. By ensuring records, we ensure women's and children's existence, giving them rights under the law - which legal certainty and the opportunity to vote in elections. (Sponsor: Byg1By)

• Building an ambulance bike to ensure that sick people can be transported quickly and conveniently to the nearest hospital.
