However this association that is made of 20 members most of whom are disabled and few who are not, have been promised by the executive secretary of Kirehe district, Zikama Eric also the guest of honour to support them until it become a cooperative “you are a very courageous group that really need a back up, do not fear therefore to seek for an advice or any other help as you will not be left unattended” he noted.

The practice of giving out hens and milk for the malnurished children have become famous all over Nyamagabe district and has been emphasised by the district mayor in his message to all the executive secretaries in the district.

« It is good that you are solving socia problems for each other, continue with such a good program so that we help malnourished children as some of villages have promised to give each of them a hen so that they can feed on eggs to overcome the problem, « wrote the mayor.

Mugisha  also reminded residents that 902 number of malnurished children is big and more efforts must be put for a permanent solution.

Village chairperson a dressing parents

 Local authorities in Nyamagabe district have declared to be punishing any parent with a child below the age of 18 years who is not in school as ruled out recently at Kabajogo village, Gasaka sector.   

Village leaders took the decision as a way of stopping the bad practice of using children for domestic work (child forced labor) instead of sending them to school.

Kabajogo village chairperson Sekimonyo Jean Marie Vianey said “any parent with a child who is not his or her and is not able to send him or her to school, that person must take responsibility for the child to reach his or her immediate home or else send him or her to school”.

He described that “every child should enjoy the right to education though it has been realized that most children are being stopped to attend schools by their care takers and this has to be dealt with so that everyone respects rights of children instead of taking their childhood for granted”.

Un programme de distribution des vaches aux séropositifs a débuté dans le secteur de Murunda, district de Rutsiro. Ce programme a été mis en place pour les aider dans l’amélioration de leurs vies.

Le député Rwaka Pierre Claver a rappelé que l’ennemi numéro un des séropositifs est de perdre espoir ou confiance de soi. Cette perte de confiance de soi leur fait revenir en arrière avec des pensées de suicide. Mais si la personne atteinte  parvient à prendre conscience de la vie qui doit continuer, elle peut vivre normalement et sans encombre.

L’honorable Rwaka a demandé à ces séropositifs d’avoir de l’espoir dans la vie. Ce programme va se poursuivre dans les secteurs de Mukura, Musasa et Manihira dans ce district de Rutsiro. Ce programme a été financé par le Global Fund via l’organisation des handicapés AGHR, le ministère de la santé et le district de Rutsiro.

Le délégué de AGHR, Nkundiye Zacharie, déclare que ce don pour les séropositifs permettra à ceux-ci de bénéficier du développement durable. Ces 48 vaches sont reparties en 3 groupes comprenant 20 membres chacun. Chaque groupe recroit 4 vaches par tombola. Donc chaque secteur reçoit 12 vaches ayant une valeur de 325 000frs chacune.

Une des bénéficiaires, Nyirandimubandi Dorothée, a remercié le président de la république pour son action en faveur des pauvres en particulier des séropositifs. Au nom du maire de Rutsiro, Mr Niyonzima Tharcisse, a gratifié les bailleurs de fond pour leur action car dorénavant dans ce district 900 vaches ont été recensées. Il a exhorté que ces vaches doivent être bien tenues car c’est une richesse collective.
