Kinyandonyi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinyandonyi is a village in the Rutshuru Territory of the North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kinyandonyi is situated 10 km east of the city of Kiwanja in Bukoma groupement, in the Bwisha Chiefdom and 85 km north of the capital of the province Goma. The region is inhabited by the Hunde people as well as some remaining autochthonous populations of African Pygmies, including the Twa people and the Mbuti people.[1][2] In addition to the Hunde, Twa, and Mbuti, there are other ethnic groups, including the Nyanga, Lega, Kumu, Hutu and Tutsi.
Agriculture is a growing source of income, as most of the population lives in abundance of poverty and lives in an infernal cycle of misery.[3][4] Consequently, the Association of Agricultural Journalists of Congo (AJAC), a non-partisan organization for agriculture, distributes seeds for agricultural development, teaches technical skills relating to farming and livestock, and trains villagers in the region to save their money.[5] In addition, the organization helps villagers to learn business management and supports them in making their projects more sustainable and secure.
