{{The First Lady of Rwanda Mrs. Jeannette Kagame will June 12, officially inaugurate an integrated development program (IDP) in Kayonza district, Nyagatovu and Kitazigurwa sectors. }}
Included in the integrated program is an Early Childhood development and family center (ECD & F) a community hall and a village. The IDP has been in operation for 4 years.
In an effort to ensure that children are physically healthy, mentally alert, emotionally secure, socially competent and ready to learn, Imbuto Foundation developed and implemented an integrated community-based Early childhood development model centre addressing cognitive stimulation and school readiness of 0-3 year olds and 4-6.
The ECD & F center provides space for professionals to reach out to children, families and caregivers. Families and caregivers also learn how to best nurture and care for young children.
All aspects of child development will be monitored and children and families in need will be taken care either through support at the facility or referral to existing professional services. So far 135 children aged 0-6years benefit from ECD services.
The village is made up of 69 homes where 130 community members live.They now have access to clean water, electricity and have been trained on smart agricultural practices.
The multipurpose hall belongs to the community and will be used for various activities.
The idea behind the integrated program is to provide holistic development to communities, this program was developed and implemented in partnership with MINALOC, ONE UN family, Kayonza and Rwamagana districts.
