Rwanda Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (RNP+) training residents on violence prevention

 Like other districts that are less developed, different associations use trainings to reach their goals other than residents in Ruhango District development.

Some local leaders in Ruhango district view trainings as a way of making money instead of fulfilling the purpose of the organizations.

During the training, you hear peoples voices asking each other; “how much allowance are we getting today, isn’t the usual Rwf1000 we get?”

This is evidence that participants do not concentrate on what they are being taught but on how much transport they will collect and how to use it.

In addition, some participants do not trust the organizers saying they steal the big part of the money, which is retards the development of the residents and their country.

This was confirmed by local leaders in Ntongwe sector on August 1^st 2012 when they turned up for the 2days training that was organized by RRP+.

On the first day, each participant got Rwf1000 which they demanded an increase on 2^nd day. The organizers decided to add more Rwf1000 when some participants had left the place in anger and were called back.

However, some did not come back and were heard saying: “They should not play on our minds, do they think we cross five hills to come and get Rwf1000. We will never come back.”

Similarly, residents say some organizers attend to other personal programs making the participants wait for the whole day. What surprises is that they come in the evening to sign for their transport money.

Residents explain their development has become an umbrella for embezzling organizations money. It’s for that matter that residents no longer see value in trainings but a money ground for organizers.

The selected constructors from Kanjongo sector in Nyamasheke district are in training on how to make bricks and tiles from sand and cement using machines and this is meant to play a role in quick settling people in settlement villages.

Shaban Mbyayingabo a trainer said that bricks made in this way are harder than usual bricks used in the villages locally known as Rukarara and it can be used after 5 days of being laid. He asked all constructors to come and learn from them about making such bricks which are even cheaper depending on where they are made which is between 28 and 35 francs.

Distributing these bricks and tiles everywhere is an objective in the program of settling people well in settlement villages as Théogène Nkaka a worker in village settlements department in the ministry of Local governments.

Charles Bahizi The vice mayor for finance and economic development in Nyamasheke district asked those who attended this training to follow their lessons attentively so as to make use of it and to care about the machines they are using for them to last a long period of time. To built using these bricks does not necessitate using cement or soil in the putting together bricks as they hold each other by putting them above together.

After this training, the trainees will build an exemplary house which will be given to a vulnerable person in Kanjongo sector. MINALOC has also agreed to support the first 10 people who will show the need to live in this village settlement by giving them sand and cement to make tiles for roofing.
