Human Rights and Peace Program.
Rwanda has an history where some people were promoted than others which finished by a Genocide. Young people were the most people to be used in this straggle; it is why young people must also contribute than others in solving the problem. The aim of this program is to provide Rwanda with freedom in their country. We carried out a project called:
Finish Child Labor in Rural areas Project (FCLRA). The child labor in East province of Rwanda is because of poverty, HIV/AIDs, the social dislocations of the genocide, and cultural acceptance of child labor (particularly in rural areas). Many children interrupt their studies in order to work in smallholder farms of their parents especially in rice where they have to take away birds and domestic animals herding. Others are in domestic activities and street kids where they have to transport baggage of people in order to live. Mostly affected are girl child. Our project has:
1) To recruit and train 50 UYRD members about child labor
2) Conduct campaigns in rural villages of eastern province in order to raise awareness of people especially parents on child labor
3) Advocate for children in rural areas so that they may be saved and prevented to go in exploitative labor. Our target is to reach ministry of youth.
The project has been implemented in GATSIBO and KIREHE districts. Until now the project show to reduce the problem of child labor in those districts.
