B2R Farms’ Fellow Louise: Transforming Agriculture in Nyamagabe

Growing up in Nyamagabe, in the Southern Province of Rwanda, Louise Nyirahubakimana saw firsthand the struggles of farmers in her community. Determined to make a difference, she pursued a degree in Agroforestry at the University of Rwanda, but after graduating, she faced significant challenges finding work and providing for her family—until she discovered the B2R Farms Fellowship Program.

Within months of working with B2R Farms, Louise was managing a demonstration farm and training others on Foundations for Farming methodologies. Today, as a B2R Fellow, she is back in Nyamagabe—equipping farmers with conservation agriculture techniques and helping them form cooperatives that produce food year-round.
