MUSANZE, BUSOGO — Students of the National Institute of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry-ISAE Busogo have joined the  one dollar campaign band wagon.

The students said they forwarded a proposal asking the university administration to deduct their contributions to the cause from their monthly bursary. In the same line they called upon youth in other institutions to join the campaign by emulating their move.

Once construction of the hostels meant to assist the needy Genocide survivors begins, a student suggested that the students studying engineering or architecture should volunteer to supervise the construction phase.

ISAE-Busogo has over 2,000 students meaning that  their contribution would raise Rwf.1.2m for the course.

Iddi Abdul Aziz Baziruwiha, the coordinator of the National Youth Council-known with the acronym CNJ, commended the students for their pledge, adding that the youth should spearhead efforts geared towards tackling the effects of the 1994 Genocide.

Baziruwiha, noted that permanent homes remain a challenge to many Genocide survivor students.

The One dollar campaign initiated by the Rwanda Diaspora Global Network (RDGN), aims at mobilising funds from both within and outside the country to help provide shelter to children orphaned by the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
