This is a project funded by the partner organization Team Hope Ireland. The project focuses on improving the living conditions of the population in the Gitega commune, located in Gitega province. It is based on savings and credit practices within households. Currently, the project covers 12 hills in the Gitega commune: MUGUTU, HIGIRO, RUTEGAMA, MAHONDA, NYAKIBINGO, BIROHE, CERU, SONGA, GITAMO, RUBARASI, KIBANDE and GASUNU. A total of 47 groups, each consisting of between 25 and 30 people, have already been created, totaling over 1,400 members.

The implementation of the project has had an impact by strengthening cash transfers to facilitate access to livelihood financing and entrepreneurship. The goal is to achieve results such as food security and household well-being, increased savings behavior, access to basic social services, access to loans, improved savings capacity, household engagement in income-generating activities, the start-up of their businesses with the support of the large-scale project, increased household income, and potentially, membership in VSLA (Village Savings and Loan Associations) among the target households, which is very beneficial.
