The Promise of Butaro District Hospital: Key Facility Meets Growing Demand, Need for Expansion

In 2011, Butaro District Hospital opened in Rwanda’s Burera District—one of two remaining districts without such a facility—thanks to strong partnership among Inshuti Mu Buzima, as Partners In Health is known locally, the Rwandan government, and the surrounding community. The 150-bed facility provides thousands of people access to primary care and specialized services, such as oncology. Over the past decade, Inshuti Mu Buzima leaders have seen growing demand for the hospital’s quality care and the need to expand. That expansion, which begins in December, will increase available services and resources, improve training for clinicians, and provide a hands-on learning environment for medical students enrolled at PIH-supported University of Global Health Equity, located across the valley from the hospital campus. - Partners In Health

Hijabs and Hoodies

Hijabs & Hoodies is a multi-disciplinary project, a portrait initiative, that questions the dress code for America and the intersection between anti-blackness and Islamophobia. With this series we dissect the intersectionality between race and religion in America and the association of hate crimes between both Black and Muslim communities, specifically Muslim women and Black men. The project includes an exhibition and open studio process. The exhibition includes a photo series of portraits and a video installation. Currently our set of images include old and new portraits from participants in Hartford, CT and Washington DC. Additionally, Hijabs & Hoodies is designed as a open studio where we invite self identifying Muslim women and Black men from the host communities to have their portraits taken in a hijab and hoodie respectively.
