Mrs Kagame cautions youth against ‘mental poverty’

First Lady Jeannette Kagame yesterday called upon youths to desist from mental poverty if they are to become responsible citizens in the future. he said this while officiating the closing ceremony of a three-day retreat attended by 415 students sponsored by Imbuto Foundation which she founded to help Rwandan youths have a better future. During the function, organised under the theme, ‘Educate, Engage, Empower’, held at Petit Stade, Mrs Kagame urged the students most of whom are orphans and children with poor family backgrounds not to succumb to problems caused by poverty but instead to be strong, work hard and to have hope.
