The mission of ASSIST -Rwanda is mainly to
rejuvenate self - confidence in
the vulnerable, needy young people living in difficult
situation . This involves the following:
The targeted group is taught basic and life skills; help
them to acquire teamwork and organisational skills, so
that they team up into strong and competitive income
generating ventures. This includes cleaning services
tailoring and others mentioned below in part two.
Experience and analysis made by ASSIST-Rwanda has always
demonstrated that the majority (over 95%) of its
beneficiaries do suffer from various degrees of
psychological trauma; depending on the experiences they
have gone through. Hence guidance and counselling is one
of its major activity to which all its young active
members are beneficiaries, with the objectives of
building their self-confidence and harmonious
relationship with one another.
ASSIST -Rwanda is also committed to promotion of
children’s rights. A lot is taught to the beneficiaries
in line with basic rights (rights to education for all,
to life and health, to shelter and protection etc…)
ASSIST -Rwanda is also involved in advocacy for the
vulnerable and marginalized young people. It works
closely with other NGOs, Social Ministries and other
government organs and individuals to advocate for the
rights and against the plights of the young people.
ASSIST-Rwanda
instils a sense of unity
and solidarity in her beneficiaries. It discourages the
sectarian and ethnic tendencies that had characterised
the Rwandan society, and builds a spirit of mutual
benefits and support, that is also characteristic of the
Rwandan youth peer culture, as a way forward towards
self confidence and
meaningful success. |
