Myriad Canada is working with the Maison Shalom in Rwanda to implement this project. The Maison Shalom is a non-governmental humanitarian organisation, which was set up in Burundi at the height of the crisis in October 1993 to create a new generation and so avoid the cycles of violence. Following the political and security crisis that has rocked Burundi since 2015, the Maison Shalom Burundi went into exile in Rwanda. Between 2016 and 31 December 2017, 367 households comprising 1,300 people have benefited from a microcredit. The rate of repayment is 64%.
