Dorman Coffee Rwanda, an East African coffee producer Friday unveiled nine renovated classrooms of a primary school in Kanjongo sector, Nyamasheke District.
Located in a district that produces the most coffee in the country, Ruheru St Augustin Primary School is surrounded by hills dotted with coffee trees and most of the children’s parents are coffee farmers.
“Before the renovation, classroom floors were bare and when it rained, the roof could leak so much that we would have to move to another room,” Junior Mugiraneza, a pupil in primary six narrated.
“When writing, knees were used for support because we had no desks. We sat on benches and the doors couldn’t be closed.”
Now, rejoicing in a new environment, Mugiraneza, 11, hopes to make 90 percent of grades in primary leaving exam.
