The Mayor was speaking at a recent function where AIDS-Relief Rwanda, donated five brand-new Yamaha AG100 motorcycles worth Rwf15m to Gisakura, Kibingo, Mugera, Mukoma and Rangiro heath centers.
The motorcycles will be used to conduct home visits to patients, as well as support community-based HIV testing and counseling services.
"I would like to thank AIDS-Relief for the continuous support they give to our district. Their presence has made Nyamasheke one of the leading districts in fighting HIV,” said Habyarimana.
