    Educating youth on cultural norms and values is a government initiative

    During the event, Rose Mary Mbabazi, State minister in the Ministry of Youth and ICT asserted that educating youth on Rwandan values and norms will prevent youth from bad habits.

    The state minister called upon parents to allow children participate in this programme that is aimed to instill discipline in youth.

    Apart from imparting cultural norms and values, youth will be trained on other activities like helping the vulnerable residents in the community.

    Under the programme, youth will attend twice a week and help parents with home chores during other days.

    Claudine Umurerwa, who is in her high school vacation revealed that mobile phones play a big role in getting girls to fall for men leading to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like HIV/AIDS.
