In Musanze District, the District Administration Security Support Organ (DASSO)<\/strong> has launched the construction of a new house for Ntibansekeye F\u00e9licien<\/strong>, a disabled war veteran, and his family. The beneficiary resides in Mubuga Village<\/strong>, Cyanya Cell<\/strong>, Cyuve Sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, which began in August 2025<\/strong>, is part of DASSO\u2019s broader commitment to support vulnerable families<\/strong> while ensuring community security and well-being<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the House<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new house under construction includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Three bedrooms<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A sitting room<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • An external kitchen<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A toilet<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Essential household items<\/strong> to be provided before handover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The seven-member family<\/strong> had previously lived in a dilapidated two-room structure, which was declared unsafe during the rainy season. Due to the risk of collapse, they were temporarily relocated and provided with rental support by local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Empowering Lives Beyond Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Munyandamutsa Venant<\/strong>, DASSO Coordinator in Musanze District, said the initiative reflects DASSO\u2019s expanded role beyond security enforcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cToday\u2019s project is about building a home for a vulnerable citizen. DASSO is no longer just a security organ \u2014 we\u2019re a force for improving community welfare<\/strong>. Every year, we commit resources, often more than UGX 2 million<\/strong>, from our own contributions to fund such initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    He emphasized the organization’s mission to shift public perception:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cPeople must understand DASSO isn\u2019t just there to punish \u2014 we\u2019re here to serve, uplift, and protect all citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    The Beneficiaries Speak Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Marie Chantal Mukarwego<\/strong>, the wife of the disabled veteran, expressed deep gratitude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cWe used to live in miserable conditions \u2014 sometimes I would go days without food. My husband, who is disabled, makes shoes and earns just 50 Rwandan Francs per pair \u2014 it wasn\u2019t enough for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    She added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cThis new house feels like a miracle. When it rains, we won\u2019t have to stand all night or send our children to sleep elsewhere. I\u2019m beyond thankful to DASSO and everyone who helped. May God bless them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Completion Timeline and Broader Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The construction is expected to be completed by September 2025<\/strong>, after which the family will move into their new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This initiative is part of DASSO Musanze\u2019s ongoing community development programs, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Building and renovating homes for the vulnerable<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Paying community health insurance for the poor<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Supporting anti-erosion efforts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Working with partners for sustainable social impact<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In Cyuve Sector<\/strong> alone, over 90 families<\/strong> are still in need of decent housing. Local government and partners have been urged to scale up support to ensure safe and dignified shelter<\/strong> for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
