A regular exchange with the “Pastoraler Raum WerreWeser” has been taking place for years.
The Ubufatanye association – Kinyarwanda for “partnership” – was founded in December 2023. This association also provides support in and around Ruli.
To discuss and agree on current as well as possible projects for the future, we met on 11 March 2025 with some representatives of the new association at the Druckerei in Bad Oeynhausen. In late summer 2024, representatives of both associations were on site in Ruli and we were happy to share our experiences there. As both associations have different contact persons on site in Ruli, this provides new opportunities for support through a larger network.
It is important for us to coordinate future projects, in particular in order to avoid unwanted overlaps – but also to utilise synergies.
2 organisations from the Minden-Lübbecke district that are active in the same district in Rwanda: although there is no direct overlap due to the different focus of their activities, close coordination is still desirable and helpful.
We have decided to exchange information regularly and to evaluate developments in Ruli and act accordingly.
We really appreciate these new opportunities.
