The vice mayor in charge of social welfare in Ngororero District Clothilde Nyiraneza said that people owning home gardens contribute a lot in fighting malnutrition and diseases related to it especially amongst children and expectant mothers.

“Having children who are health is because of the different teaching we gave to their parents about how to prepare nutritious meals especially with vegetables”, said Nyiraneza.

As said by the health director in the district, there are less numbers of children with malnutrition which is emphasized still in Kabaya and Muhororo hospital that had many such cases.

However though with this achievement, many of the home gardens are no longer taken care of by parents hence a call from Nyiraneza to people concerned to help maintain these gardens to fight malnutrition completely from this district.

The Gicumbi district administration with the support of parents who have children in day cares say the nutrition of their children has significantly improved in the fight against diseases caused by poor nutrition.

Children in the daycares

Stanislas Kagenzi the vice mayor for finance and economic development on Monday 22^nd.April.2013 said the district played a big role in the operations of day cares by giving every sector Rwf400.000 for the operation of day cares.

This amount of money given to the day cares in every sector was meant to buy tools like saucepans, cups, plates and all desired kitchen utensils for the hygiene of the children in the daycares. Parents also provide food for the children including milk or porridge.

The partnership between the district and the parents through daycares will ensure that no single child in Gicumbi district that will be affected by malnutrition. For children who were affected by malnutrition before the beginning of these daycares, the district is about to implement strategies to eradicate poor eating habits in the district.

There is a program in the daycares, where the health advisors put children who have malnutrition problems in one groups and take care of them for one month after which they join healthy children in the daycare.

The residents of Gicumbi district say they are grateful for the role these daycares are playing in the health of their children. Children are brought together; they play, have education and above all have good, well prepared and nutritive meals and good health.

Children between 2 years and 5 years are the ones legible to attend these daycares that are in every sector of the district.

“We no longer worry of where to leave the child to run an errand or go to the farm, they are in good hands, having good education and nice meals” says a mother with 2 children enlisted in the daycare.

Daycares have been successful as malnutrition is being curbed down and the goal of Gicumbi district is achieved according to the 2012/2013 performing contracts to elect daycares.

The administration of Hope and Homes for Children (HHC) says the process of transferring children from centres to families is going smoothly except for some limitations especially children who feel they are more comfortable staying in orphanage instead of families.

During the gathering with local leaders, security councils and justice councils, the director of HHC Claudine Nyinawagaga said their main limitation is preparing children to go into families when they prefer children centres more.

The director of HHC explaining about the program

 Nyinawagaga explains the concept of many people saying children in centres live a comfortable life. Though children in centres eat well and attain education, they need to learn love and family values and working experience in families.

According to the research conducted by HHC, 60% of the children in orphanages have both parents and close relatives which do not want them. Transferring children from orphanage centres back to their families is one of the solutions agreed upon by the ministers’ meeting as per 16^th.March.2012 and this program is set to last for 2 years.

Hope and Homes for Children and National Children Council (NCC) say they have already involved experts to prepare children and the families that will receive them on this transfer program.

The transfer process involves a lot and cannot be rushed like learning about a child, finding his/her family, learning about the family, deciding on transferring the child, preparing the child as well as the family, transferring the children and following hi/her up.

The transferred child is given some money at least Rwf3000 and they keep visiting him to find out if the child is interacting well with the family and if his life is worth being in that family.

Umuyobozi wa hope and Homes for Children agaragaza aho gahunda yo gukura abana mu bigo igeze

ubuyobozi bwa HHC (Hope and Homes for Chirdren) butangaza ko igikorwa cyo gukura abana mu bigo bagasubizwa mu miryango kigenda neza, uretse zimwe mu mbogamizi abakora aka kazi bahura nazo zirimo kuba abafite abana mu bigo by’imfubyi biyumvisha ko abana bagombye kuba mu bigo kurusha kuba mu miryango.

Umuyobozi wa HHC Nyinawagaga Claudine aganira n’inzego z’ibanze, inzego z’umutekano hamwe n’ubutabera mu karere ka Rubavu yagaragaje ko zimwe mu mbogamizi uyu muryango uhura nazo mu gutegura gahunda yo gusubiza abana mu miryango ari imyumvire y’abanyarwanda bavuga ko abana mu bigo babayeho neza kuruta kuba mu miryango.

Nyinawagaga akaba avuga ko nubwo mu bigo abana barya bakaryama ndetse bakiga, ngo bacyeneye gutozwa urukundo mu miryango, n’indangagaciro z’ubunyarwanda atorezwa mu muryango birimo no gukora.

Ubushakashatsi bwakozwe bugaragaza ko abana bangana na 60% baba mu bigo by’imfubyi bafite ababyeyi n’imiryango ya hafi ariko benshi badashaka kubakira. Gahunda yo gukura abana mu bigo by’imfubyi bakarererwa mu miryango iri mumyanzuro yafashwe n’inama y’abaminisitiri  yo kuwa 16/3/2012, aho basaba ko iyi gahunda yo gukura abana mu bigo by’imfubyi bagashyirwa mu miryango yamara imyaka ibiri.

Nkuko ubuyobozi bwa HHC hamwe na NCC komisiyo ishinzwe abana babitangaza ngo hamaze gushyirwaho inzobere zizabanza gutegura abana n’imiryango bazajyamo. Iyi gahunda yo gushyira abana mu miryango ikaba itazirukankishwa nkuko bamwe babyibwira ahubwo hazabanza gutegura imiryango n’abana bakabahuza bakabanza bakishimana kuko nta kibazo bizatera mu mibanire.

Nkuko bigaragara kuri gahunda yo gukura umwana mu kigo kugeza agiye kuba mu muryango habanza gusesengura umwana, gushaka umuryango akomokamo, gusesengura imibereho y’umuryango akomokamo, gufata icyemezo cyo gushyira umwana mu muryango, gutegura umwana n’umuryango kugira bisanzuraneho, gushyira umwana mu muryango hakabaho no gukurikirana umwana washyizwe mu muryango.

Abayobozi bareba icyakorwa kugira iyi gahunda ishyirwe mu bikorwa nta nkomyi

Hari ibyiciro birebana no kohereza umwana mumuryango kandi ngo byose bigomba kubahirizwa kugirango hatazagira ikibazo kivuka nyuma y’uko umwana yagiye mu muryango kandi ngo uburenganzira bw’abana nibwo buzashobora kubahirizwa.

Nyinawagaga avuga ko buri munsi umwana urererwa mu kigo atwara amafaranga ibihumbi 3 kandi ugasanga ubuzima bwe butameze neza kuko atisanzura cyangwa ngo ahabwe uburere uko bikwiye.

Mu karere ka Rubavu gahunda yo gushyira abana mu miryango ibangamirwa n’uko ubwo abari mu bigo bashaka kubakuramo hari abandi bakijyanwa mu bigo bivuye kumpamvu z’ababajugunya, ariko inama yahuje inzego zibanze ikaba iyo kurebwa icyakorwa kugira ngo abafite abana mu bigo bagire ubushake bwo kubakira ndetse n’abana bakomeza kujyanwa mu bigo bakirwe naba Malayika Murinzi.

 With the increase of children in streets of Nyamagabe district especially in Nyamagabe town that is in Gasaka sector, the district administration and concerned organizations are set to end this issue and take children back to their homes and families.

A meeting bringing together the district administrators, church leaders, Kigeme Refugee camp and NGOs that care for children convened on Tuesday the 12^th.Feb.2013 to discuss every one’s role in keeping children away from streets.

Making the list of children on the streets and the reasons to why they abandoned their homes are the immediate factors to be determined to be able to take the street children back to their families explains Emile Byiringiro the vice mayor for social affairs in Nyamagabe district.

“We will sensitize all people and especially parents of street children immediately after identifying them and reasons why they ran away and then find solutions to each and everyone’s problems” says Byiringiro.

This meeting also decided on sensitizing people to stop giving alms to the street children and also to stop giving them work to do like making them carry things to be paid which makes them feel that staying on the streets is better than being at home because they have money. The sensitization begins on Wednesday the 13^th.Feb in Nyamagabe market.

A team to learn thoroughly on how to get the street children out of streets, to be taken back to schools and to make them live according to their rights was elected in this meeting.

“For this issue to be resolved, it necessitates the participation of every individual and organization to play their role especially teachers, parents, families, NGOs, local authorities” explained Emile Byiringiro.

According to Lambert Hategekimana a worker for National Children Council who was in attendance of this meeting, all concerned individuals, councils and organizations should do the necessary to give security and stability to children to make them stay where they are supposed to be instead of running to streets.

Hategekimana said that children who start begging on streets may become thieves when they grow up with the habit to get money they did not work for. It is good to get them off the streets when they are still young for them to have a better life in future.

Ubuyobozi bw’akarere ka Nyamagabe buragaragaza ko bugiye gufata ingamba zihamye zo guhangana n’ikibazo cy’abana bakomeje kugaragara ku mihanda hirya no hino mu karere, by’umwihariko mu mujyi wa Nyabagabe maze bagasubizwa mu miryango.

Umuyobozi w’akarere ka Nyamagabe, Mugisha Philbert atangaza ko kugira ngo umwana afate umwanzuro wo kuza kuba mu muhanda biterwa n’impamvu zitandukanye bityo zose zikaba zigomba kwegerwa kugira ngo icyo kibazo gikemuke.

Umuyobozi w’akarere agira ati: “Kugira ngo umwana aze ku muhanda binyura mu nzira nyinshi, ntabwo umuntu uwo ariwe wese aba yujuje inshingano ze”.

Akomeza avuga ko bishobora guturuka ku babyeyi cyangwa abarezi baba batujuje inshingano zabo zo kubitaho, cyangwa se abayobozi baba batahwituye ababyeyi ngo babibutse inshingano zabo zo kubarera uko bikwiriye.

Umuyobozi w’akarere akomeza avuga ko hagiye gushyirwaho ingamba zihamye kandi mu buryo burambye zo gutuma abana bava mu mihanda bagasubira mu miryango, kandi bigakorwa badahutajwe.

Hagiye kurebwa impamvu abana bava mu miryango basanga ababyeyi aribo babitera bagahwiturwa, basanga ari abana bananiranye bakigishwa, cyangwa se ikibazo cyaba amakimbirane arangwa mu miryango abayobozi bakagira uruhare mu kuyakemura maze abana bakagira umutekano.

“Birumvikana ko tugomba kubanza gutegura imiryango bagiyemo. Tukareba niba ari uruhare rw’umubyeyi agahiturwa, twasanga ikibazo ari umwana nawe akigishwa mu buryo bwihariye, niba ari ibibazo by’amakimbirane arangwa mu rugo ubuyobozi bugafasha ngo bikemuke”, Mugisha.

Akomeza avuga ko umuti ari uko basubizwa mu miryango haba ku babyeyi cyangwa se abandi babarera aho kujyanwa mu bigo bitandukanye.

Mu nama y’umutekano y’akarere yaguye yateranye tariki ya 28/01/2013, iki kibazo cyagarutsweho maze Umuhoza Naomi, ushinzwe ubutabera mu nama y’igihugu y’abagore mu karere ka Nyamagabe avuga ko hakwiye kwigishwa imiryango baturukamo igahinduka kuko umwana asubijwe mu muryango agasanga ikibazo yahungaga cyarakemutse yahaguma.

Uyu mwana bakunze kwita sagatwa afite imyaka 13 ariko ntiwabimenya
Amaze imyaka irenga ibili yarataye iwabo

Uko umujyi wa Kibuye ugenda ukura ni ko abana b’inzererezi bagenda barushaho kuwugaragaramo, ariko ubuyobozi buravuga ko iki kibazo buzakigaho kuri uyu wa kabili mu nama yaguye y’umutekano y’akarere ka Karongi kuko nabwo bwemera ko gikabije.

Abana b’inzererezi n’ubwo bataraba benshi mujyi wa Kibuye, usanga bateye ikibazo kubera ko basabiriza abahisi n’abagenzi bigatuma abantu bahagenda binuba. Hari n’igihe bo ubwabo birwanira ugasanga bateje umutekano muke w’aho bari.

Inzererezi zikunze kwibanda ahategerwa imodoka zijya cyangwa ziva Kigali (Impala & Capital) kuko ari ho hakunze guhurira abantu benshi barimo n’abanyamahanga bigatuma abantu binuba kuko babatesha umutwe babiruka inyuma babaka amafaranga.

Umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’umurenge wa Bwishyura aho umujyi wa Kibuye ubarizwa (Niyonsaba Cyriaque) yavuze ko ejo kuwa kabili (05-02-2013) iki kibazo kiri ku murongo w’ibizigirwa mu nama y’umutekano yaguye y’akarere.

Abana b’inzererezi bemeye kuganira natwe bavuga ko bataye iwabo kubera ubukene. Umwe muri bo bakunze kwita Sagatwa kubera ko akomoka ku bahejwe inyuma n’amateka, nta se afite ariko afite nyina n’abavandimwe.

Se akiriho bajyaga bazererana mu mujyi bavuza iningiri bakanaririmba, bacinya n’akadiho (intwatwa) bakabasha gukorera amafaranga. Ariko aho se atabarukiye, nko mu myaka ibili ishize, uwo Sagatwa w’imyaka 13 y’amavuko – nubwo utayimukekera -  yahise yibera inzererezi na n’ubu.

Amaze imyaka ibili yibera mu mujyi n’abandi bagenzi be batanu badatana. Usanga kenshi birarira mu mazu ataruzura, bwacya bakirirwa bazerera umujyi basaba umuhisi n’umugenzi. Ubuzima bwabo muri rusange ni nk’ubw’inyoni yaritse ku nzira kuko nk’uko babyivugira, hari igihe bamara n’iminsi itatu nta giceri babonye.

Kuryama nabyo ni ubufindo dore ko barara ku makarito bakiyorosa amagunira mu gihe abandi bana bo mu kigero cyabo baba bari iwabo baryamye heza bariye, kandi bakajya no kwiga. Iyo ubabajije bakubwira ko badashobora gusubira iwabo kuko ngo iyo bagezeyo abafite ba se barabirukankana n’inkoni ngo nibasubire iyo baturutse.

Umwe muri bagenzi ba sagatwa avuga ko yabanaga na sekuru na nyirakuru kuva se yakwitaba Imana kandi nyina nta bushobozi afite bwo ku murera n’abandi bavandimwe be. We ngo yahunze kwa sekuru kubera ko bakunda gusinda bataha bakamukubita.

Iyo usesenguye usanga ari ikibazo ahanini kireba ababyeyi, kubera ko mu karere ka Karongi hakiri ikibazo cyo kutaringaniza imbyaro n’ubwo ubuyobozi budasiba kubibakangurira.

Ubuyobozi bw’akarere ka Karongi bwagerageje no kubaka ikigo cyakira bene abo bana bakitabwaho, ababyeyi nabo bagahugurwa, bakagirwa n’inama, uwo basanze atishoboye akamenyekana agafashwa n’abana batiga bakajyanwa mu mashuli.

Ikibabaje ariko nuko hari amakuru avuga ko mu minsi ishize hari abana 40 batorotse icyo kigo bakongera bagasubira mu muhanda. Iyo ubabajije bakubwira ko mu muhanda ari ho heza kuko babona amafaranga yo kugura ibyo batabona iwabo cyangwa muri icyo kigo. Ibyo bavuga batabona iwabo nta bindi ni amandazi, capati, ibyasigaye mu maresitora abibahera ubuntu, ndetse n’itabi kuri bamwe.

Nubwo abo mu mujyi wa Kibuye benshi bakiri bato, ariko iyo ubasanze barwana hagati yabo ubona biteye impungenge kuko nta n’umuntu ubasha kubakiranura ngo bemere. Ntibatinya no guterana amabuye kandi bakayatera batishinze ababari iruhande wagira ngo ugiye gukomakoma bakaguhindukirana.

Ni ikibazo cy’ingorabahizi kuko niba abana badashaka gusubizwa iwabo kandi bakanatoroka ikigo cyabubakiwe, leta iracyafite akazi katoroshye dore ko mu mijyi myinshi yitwa ko yateye imbere ntaho inzererezi zitaba. Henshi ndetse baba ari abantu bakuru bakora ubugizi bwa nabi batega abantu n’ibyuma bakacuza utwabo n’ushatse kwirwanaho akaba yahasiga ubuzima. Igihe kirageze ngo ubuyobozi bushakishe umuti urambye w’ikibazo amazi atararenga inkombe.
