GISAGARA: Youth in national service to double activities

After successfully executing performance contracts, youth in national service from Mukindo and Mugombwa sectors in Gisagara district have promised to double the efforts in extra time given.

This was revealed when the district inspection team visited youth in Mukindo and Mugombwa sectors.

Joseph Byimana, youth representative in Mugombwa sector, confirmed that they hope to create more activities since they were able to implement performance contracts 100 percent in 3 months.

Among the activities national youth service covered are setting up a vocational school where skills are taught for free by youth to eradicate unemployment and promote job creation.

Head of youth in national service in Gisagara, Jean de Dieu Habiyambere and Noël Rukundo, coordinator of National youth council in Gisagara revealed that extra time was added because some youth had not implemented all their performance contracts.

Jean de Dieu Habiyambere says: “Your efforts will not be wasted because it’s for your own good. You will be awarded certificates that will help you to secure jobs.”

Though youth achieved a lot, they confess meeting a challenge of financial crisis, which stops them from carrying out some activities.
