Evaluation of the Human Sciences Research Council
Rwanda
In 2007, an external evaluation of a VillageFXB program in Rwanda, conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council (South Africa), revealed that four years after the end of the program, 86% of beneficiaries were still living above the poverty line, and 97% were still operating their initial income-generating activity. What's more, their children attend school more regularly, stay in school longer and achieve better results than their peers.
