From Our Clients

"FSG advised Rwanda Works on business strategies to complement our health work. We wrote a plan together, founded Rwanda Ventures and recently opened up Kivu Dairy. We are now selling 1,000 liters of milk daily to the country's largest dairy processor and will soon be able to start financing a portion of our health work going forward."
