Uyisenga N’Manzi

Uyisenga N’Manzi aims to contribute to the psychological and economic rehabilitation of unaccompanied children affected by HIV/AIDS and genocide as well as young girls who were victims of rape or other forms of sexual violence, placing them in child headed households and supporting their villages in a variety of ways.  To learn more about Uyisenga N’Manzi please see an excerpt of an article written by a previous delegation member in the GYC program report on Rwanda from January 2006. Uyisenga prefers that the volunteers from GYC can contribute to one of the three kinds of projects that were started by GYC and Uyisenga on the last delegation.

  • A “memory book” photo project with the orphans
  • A friendship bracelet weaving project
  • A yoga project

Follow-up on these projects could take the form of creative work, but it could also be something like helping the youth brainstorm ideas about business plans for making money with their bracelets.
