You would come and find a woman holding a child and a sack of cabbages and tomatoes in the other hand. Such situation really hampers both child\u2019s education and commerce,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we are building childhood development centers so that a mother can negotiate with managers of the center to take care of the child during the time she is conducting her doing business,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The cross border market in Rusizi district is expected to be completed in one year. The same facility is also available in Rubavu district and accommodates between 20 and 30 children on daily basis. <\/p>\n<p>Children are received from 7:00 hours to be returned at 18:00 hours. A parent leaving the child is required to pay Rwf 300 for food and other needs. <\/p>\n<p>The initiative was adopted following the matter of parents who would leave their children helpless at the border as they cross into DRC for business. <\/p>\n<p>Kankindi Marie Rose, one of cross border business women told IGIHE that the initiative is welcomed as it will allow them leave their children in comfort and safety.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-19570 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/minisitiri_kanimba_atangiza_iyubakwa_ry_isoko_ryambukiranya_imipaka-2-422a9.jpg\" alt=\"The Minister of Trade, Industry and East African Affairs Fran\u00e7ois Kanimba laying a foundation stone at the construction site of the cross border market in Rusizi last Friday. \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{The Ministry of Trade, Industry and East African Affairs (MINEACOM) has launched construction of a cross-border market in Rusizi district which will have buildings for early childhood development to facilitate child\u2019s education.} The Minister of Trade, Industry and East African Affairs Fran\u00e7ois Kanimba unveiled last Friday as he laid a foundation stone at the construction [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[160],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-34138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-theophile-niyitegeka"],"bylines":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"contributors":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34138\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34138"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=34138"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=34138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
