GENOCIDE SURVIVOR PARTNERS WITH 530 FARMERS TO EXPORT ORGANIC FRUITS When you find Donatille Nibagwire relaxing at home with children, you could wrongly conclude that the proprietor a horticulture exporting company, Floris Rwanda, has had it easy since childhood. It is only when you get closer that scars on her face—from grenades hurled into their house during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi—become visible. This indeed is a permanent reminder of her troubled childhood. As a child, she witnessed almost all her family members get killed during the 100 days of mayhem. Nibagwire’s early life, just like others who grew up during Rwanda’s darkest times, was thus marred with hatred, segregation, fear and tension perpetuated by the regime of the day. Born in Kinyinya, currently part of City of Kigali’s Gasabo District in 1970 to Pascazia Mukabaziga and Raphael Gakuba, Nibagwire was the eighth child in a family of ten children. But by the end of the Genocide, she had lost parents, all her six brothers and a sister. newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2015-01-04/184637/
