We have just opened a market stall in Nyabagogo, just behind SP petrol station, two minutes walk from Nyabagogo bus park.

We welcome all donations of second hand clothes, shoes and bags. The money from these sales goes to helping single parent families into employment, education and health care.

When you see Down Town Bar & Resto, the Boucherie and Kitchen Ware Shop, go through the door on the far right into the market. We are the first stall on your left, just inside the entrance.

Or call Jasmine (078362 2212) and arrange to drop off close to the American Embassy in Kacyiru.

Thank you for your support!

We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at Cheltenham Borough Council in the UK and the students of Westwood Collegiate in Canada for their donations which have allowed us to pay basic medical insurance for around 75 adults and 150 children this year.

We are planning more events for the future - watch this space for details.

Amahoro Peace Weekend

On Saturday 23rd May 2009, Tabara attended its first major public event as part of Amahoro Peace Weekend, part of the international campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children.

The event began at 8am with marquees outside the main gates of Amahoro ('Peace') stadium in Kigali. It was the first unveiling of the new banner and our information leaflets.

Many fellow NGOs attended including:

• FACT, who provide a free hotline (3232 during office hours) and counselling service for victims of domestic violence and mental abuse.
   
• Women for Women who help to set-up work co-operatives and train in hand-crafts.
   
• Indego Africa, who support local work co-operatives to sell their crafts nationally and internationally.

It was an excellent opportunity for us to get to know these organisations and the people working for them, and to think about ways in which we can work together in the future.

We'd like to extend our thanks to Mark Larsen for making the day possible.
