One of the small rooms at Carama site \u00a9Iwacu<\/p><\/div>\n

According to Jean Marie Niyonzima, responsible of the site, the new rooms are of 6m to 10. They are 7 and have been built to serve as collective houses for those people. However, those rooms are not wide enough to contain the big number in that Carama transit site. \u201cWe are 871 people for 325 families, this is the number of people known and assisted by the Red Cross. So, we have a big problem to place them as the great number of people doesn\u2019t match with the available place,\u201d states Niyonzima. He goes on saying that they have to put 30 or 32 people in each room regardless its size; normally he says, they should place 41 people because they can\u2019t do anything else.
\nIsa\u00efe Ntakirutimana, another officer in the site adds that they start to shelter separately single boys, widows with children, women and girls without children, and married people with their children so that men who are heads of the families play alternately the role of sentries at night in their rooms.
\nNiyonzima says that they find difficulties to place them because of some misunderstanding. \u201cSome refuse to share rooms with drunkards, smokers\u2026You know it\u2019s not easy to manage them,\u201d points out Niyonzima.
\nNtakarutimana states that there is a room where there is a person who is suffering from some incurable and communicable diseases whereby everyone wants to flee him. \u201cThen, it is big problem for us as we don\u2019t have other rooms to put them in,\u201d mentions Ntakarutimana.<\/p>\n

Need of additional rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe really thank those who have made their effort to provide those tents and built these halls for us. Few times ago, we lived in small tents and threatened by the rain; briefly speaking, our housing conditions left to desire. So, we owe much thanks to the good Samaritan especially the Ombudsman Mohamed Rukara who takes this issue in hands,\u201d indicates Jean Marie Niyonzima.
\nR\u00e9novat Ndindurwaha, member of the Carama site representatives, appreciates good charitable people who make much effort to provide them shelter. But we need at least more than 2 or 3 rooms to gather all people in the site.
\n\u201cWe are sure that if we have more than 3 other rooms, we hope that they could be enough for us to have larger space to live in,\u201d concludes Ndindurwaha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
