After the long time of poverty, the long waited Umurenge Vision 2020 Program will soon set foot in Musange sector in Nyamagabe district; it has been reported.

Residents are optimistic that VUP will help them fight poverty, since there has been no single project to employ residents in Musange sector.

Donatille Mukantaganzwa, resident of Musange sector says: “We are so poor because Vision Umurenge program delayed to reach in this area. Once it’s here, all residents will work hard to fight poverty.”

Medical insurance (mutuelle de santé), joining cooperatives and associations which are a short cut to development will be easy after they get employment, Mukantaganzwa adds.

Clarisse Dusabimana, aged 20 years revealed that some youth are hopeful to get money and acquire crucial skills like carpentry among others, which can lead them to social and economic development.

“I can save money earned in VUP to pursue a vocational course like tailoring or building and others,” she adds.

Pierre Céléstin Hanganimana, executive secretary of Musange sector confirms that VUP will lift residents from poverty since Nyamagabe is among the poorest districts in Rwanda.

The district authorities explain that in 2012-2013 financial budget, Umurenge Vision Program is set to use Rwf194 million in Musange sector.

The money will be used in three phases; helping the elderly, rewarding residents that will engage in development activities and lending it to those who wish to start projects, district authorities explain.

Nyamagabe district ask residents to embrace and make use of the program, so as to attain substantial development.

Nyamagabe district authorities have announced the intention to crackdown on all idlers and street children seen in the towns and trading centers with an aim of rehabilitating them and equiping them with skills.

They are seen smoking near the market every morning

The Vice Mayor in charge of social affairs Emile Byiringiro says that the problem of idlers comes up every time there is a security meeting which shows that they are a threat to security efforts.

“We have always called upon the idlers to look for jobs and get off the streets and also form associations, those who heeded our advice did so, but the problem is that new others are coming in,” said Byiringiro.

But he says that with the help of security agencies, they hope to do away with the problem in the shortest time possible.

The biggest number of idlers are children under the age of twelve who runa away from their homes. The strong ones live off carrying people’s luggage while others move around begging for money from sympathizers. At night they are found on the road sides and verandas sleeping on boxes.

Some of these children say that the main reason for running away from home is abject poverty or domestic violence.
