“My name is GISUBIZO Smaelle, I am 18 years old, and I am a 4th year student in the option of Land Surveying and Roads here in Saint Sylvan Technical Secondary School founded by COFORWA. I appreciate the knowledge that I have already gained here; I learned how to measure a house, and how to make road profiles. In this school, we have good teachers who give us quality knowledge, we also have enough equipment. Therefore, our courses are going well. As a girl, to study Land Surveying and Roads will be useful for me in the future. Because land and surveying engineers are very needed in the labor market”.

My name is NYIRAMISAGO Valerie; I am a beneficiary of the sanitation and hygiene project called TUBEHO NEZA, a project supported by COFORWA. This project helps us as women living in KAMONYI District to take care of the cleanliness of our homes, food and drinks, clothing, and toilet hygiene. The project was good for me, I learned how to make soap, I didn't know about hygiene and sanitation, but now I know how to take care of cleanliness, about the drinking water I used to drink from the tap, but now I know that drinking boiled water is beneficial, it prevents me and my children from getting sick.”
