Experience and analysis
made by ASSIST-RWANDA personnel in the Eastern region
that is to say Nyagatare, Gatsibo,Kayonza,Rwamagana,
Bugesera and Kirehe Districts demonstrated that there
are many young people who suffer from various degrees of
psychological trauma; depending on the experiences they
have gone through war, forced early marriage. Hence
guidance and counseling is one of major services that
will be offered to the youth and children in the Centre,
with the objective of building their self-confidence and
harmonious relationship with one another and their
communities. In addition to this, Centre beneficiaries
will be offered recreational services in form of sports,
music, dance and drama; |
|

committed to promotion of human rights, children and
youth Centre, will be taught their basic rights (rights
to education, to life and health, to shelter and
protection etc…) This will be done in line with advocacy
for the vulnerable and marginalized young people. This
will be associated with judicial assistance; |
|
|
|
The Centre will also offer
instructions on unity and reconciliation. The
beneficiaries will be helped to do away with all forms
of sectarian and ethnic tendencies that had
characterized the Rwandan society, and build a spirit of
mutual benefits and support, that characterizes the
Rwandan youth peer culture, as a way forward towards
self confidence and meaningful success in life; |
|
|
|
The Centre will also have
a Meeting Hall where various workshops and seminars
useful to children and youth will be conducted. Other

and youth medical problems, rooms for counselors,
Offices for Centre administrators, a Restaurant, Rooms
