The activities of
ASSIST Cottage Industries has started in February
2004 under the British Embassy fund . The Project
was
basically manufacturing Soap and Candles ,shoe polish .The
project is situated at Nyagatare in the Eastern Province
of Rwanda .
The
170 already trained
Beneficiaries (Child headed households
[CHH] resulting from HIV/AIDS pandemic and 1994 genocide)
are grouped into Production Units (65% of them are
females)and know well how to manufacture soap, candles shoes polish

valuable lessons like micro-projects management and

In order to make the
industry more efficient
and productive,
in May 2006, Rwanda
Bureau of Standards (RBS)
inspected the industries
and advised us on how to
improve the quality of
the products. It is
worthwhile to note that
the organisation
participated in EXPO
2007 that was conducted
in August at Gikondo in
Kigali City where the
products of ASSIST
Cottage Industries were
demonstrated. They
included bar soap,
liquid soap and
candles,handcraft ...

quality as well
as to increase
quantity in

was under the
financial
support from
