At the roadside linking Rwezamenyo to Kimisagara separating Rwezamenyo and Gitega sectors of Nyarugenge District, we notice a group of about fifteen young men all in their mid-twenties in a beehive of woodwork related activities.

As we approach, two of them, dressed in navy blue workshop dust coats, simultaneously move quickly towards us calling ‘boss boss..!’ with hope we are new clients, they are sternly beckoned to move back by one amongst them; we realize there is order and control.  We decide to talk to the one with authority whom we latter learn is the head of discipline. 

Jean Paul Bikorimana, 27, is one of the 35 members of Tuzamurane, a cooperative formed by former drugs and alcohol addicts. 

“Each person you see here was a drug and alcohol addict; many of us were violent robbers,” says Bikorimana.

His father was a drunkard and his mother a teetotaller. Arriving in Nyamirambo in 1994 from a rural town of Bugesera, Bikorimana was a teenager and frightened by the drinking, smoking and fighting common in the area. But he got used to the place.

He says it all began with just tasting a little of the drugs every day.
