The Minister of Youth and ICT, Jean Philbert Nsengimana has urged Rwandan youths to embrace the culture of saving, hard work and formation of cooperatives in order to improve their standard of living.

The minister made the remarks during the official launching of the 2013 youth month which took place in Kabaya sector, Ngororero district in Western Province, on May 4, under the theme: “The Promise of a generation.”

The main goal of this month is to celebrate the achievements so far made within the sector while focusing on the key issues facing young people but also create a platform for youth advocacy and a clear strategy for youth to be able to meaningfully contribute to nation building especially focusing on the role of youth to build the society.

Minister Nsengimana argued that the youth need to be more of job creators who need to start with available resources within their reach, and those who do not have the ability to start a business should join the Kuremera program and Hanga umurimo program-in which communities and government chip in to finance income generating activities respectively.

The month’s activities will range from those in line with economic empowerment, social contribution, and the use of ICT as a tool for development as well as activities related to sports and entertainment

As part of the agenda, Isamaza youth cooperative were given two computers, a 32inch TV screen and a decoder courtesy of Star Africa media- a Chinese multimedia company in Rwanda. The equipments will be used to generate income for the youth cooperative- which is mainly composed of genocide survivors in Kabaya.

The Ruhango district administration has given cows to 53 families that reside in 4 sectors in the support of Girinka Program which was initiated by the president of the republic of Rwanda so that at least every Rwandan can own a cow.

Residents in the 4 sectors were given cows as those from Byimana sector were given 9 cows, Kabagali sector 15 cows, Kinihira sector 15 cows and Bweramana sector in 14cows. The other 5 sectors which were not given cows are yet to be given precisely early next week says Dieudonne Rugwizangoga the veterinary doctor in Ruhango district.

Residents who were given cows are the poor and vulnerable who were selected by their neighbours with the help of local authorities. The families which were given cows thanked the district administration especially the president of the Republic for initiating this program and made them farmers something which was just a dream to most of them.

They assured that now that they got cows to rear, they are going to work even harder to develop as they have been farming without manure, and their children will no longer be affected by kwashiorkor or malnutrition as they will be having milk.

Dieudonne Rugwizangoga the veterinary doctor in Nyabihu district said that every resident who was given a cow has a responsibility to give a cow to a neighbour once the cows reproduce. These 53 cows that were given by the district are additional to too many others which were given out by different partners in development, organizations and associations in Ruhango district.
