 自我介绍 |
He is a medical student at National University of Rwanda(www.nur.ac.rw)
He is volunteering in Rwanda Village Concept Project (www.rwanda-vcp.org) especially in HIV/AIDS awareness, Reproductive health and Family Planning Microproject as the Secretary in 2007 and Head in this year 2008. Rwanda Village Concept Project is a multidisciplinary, intersectorial, Non-governmental, Non profit making, Voluntary student run organisation aims to improve the health and living standards in underprivileged communities in the Southern Province of Rwanda and capacity building of participating students. It is split into five micro projects including HIV/AIDS awareness, Reproductive Health and Family Planning micro project.
He is experienced in Peer Education and have been working with youth especially non schooling youth in rural areas since 2006 raising awareness of the youth (Youth are at the greatest risk of contracting HIV and prevention is key to stemming the spread of HIV) on HIV/AIDS, Sexual Transmitted Infections and Family planning and advocating for poverty reduction among the youth. He helped to create both the youth association called Anti-HIV/AIDS Clubs and Income generating projects providing a forum through which the youth can continue their discussion of HIV/AIDS issues, as well as the opportunity to offer one another valuable support and advice. Not only will this keep the group active and together, but it will also prevent them from turning to illegal and potentially dangerous means of generating income, such as prostitution. The income created will be a lifeline to vulnerable members of the community, especially orphans and families affected by HIV/AIDS as sufferers often become either too depressed or too weak to work, and many experience increased financial hardship as a result.
