Today, I visited Ntarama Pig Farm on a grand scale @pigs_farm managed by Peace Niyoyita, a resilient and inspiring woman who is transforming pig farming in Rwanda.
She began her journey in 2017 with just 10 pigs. Today, her farm has grown to over 500 pigs, and her team has expanded from 3 to 25 permanent workers.
The farm has become one of Rwanda’s premier agricultural enterprises, offering:
- High-quality breeding stock to farmers
- Pig semen production, working closely with the Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB) and Zipline to distribute across the country
- Premium pork products through Pork House Ntarama, producing up to 5 metric tons daily
Peace encourages Rwandans to invest in pig farming, describing it as a fast-growing and highly profitable venture.
She also highlights that with the Pork House Ntarama facility, farmers now have a reliable market for their produce.

Today at Kimironko Market, I stumbled on something special.
A neatly organized grain shop caught my eye: clean, well arranged, professional. Curious, I asked around… and found out it’s owned by a 23-year-old young woman, Igena Ritha Betty Turabawe.
By day, she runs her business. By evening, she heads to university, doing law now 👌
And this isn’t new, she started her journey at just 9 years old, helping at her mum’s shop.
That’s discipline. That’s consistency. That’s vision.
While I was there, she was already on the phone taking orders; yes, she delivers too.
If you’re at Kimironko Market, pass by, support her business, and witness what determination looks like in action.
This is the kind of story we need more of.
