Following findings that Youth in Gasabo District lack access to reproductive health information and services the District has decided to train them on the issue to avoid further negative consequences.
District officials have urged the trainees to share experiences among other people and help them to know the importance of their reproductive health.
Youth are being trained in reproductive health, about HIV/AIDS, Family planning issues and fighting against Drug abuses and thereafter they will return and train other youth in their respective sectors.
Mungwarakarama Deo in charge of Kabuga Youth Centre has said many youth in the District need to know more about their health reproduction.
It is expected that after completing a four-day training they will be aware of programs related to reproductive health.
