This Monday, a nationwide campaign was launched across Rwanda to promote a culture of hygiene and cleanliness in schools, encouraging students to maintain personal hygiene, keep their uniforms clean, and take care of their surroundings.
In Kigali, the #FresheriKuIshuri campaign was officially launched by the Minister of Education, Joseph Nsengimana, at Karembure School Complex in Kicukiro District. During the event, Minister Nsengimana joined students in cleaning activities, including cutting grass around the school.
In his message to students, Minister Nsengimana urged them to practice hygiene both at school and at home.
In the Western Province, the campaign kicked off at G.S Amahoro in Gisenyi Sector, Rubavu District, attended by various leaders, including the Minister of Local Government, Dominique Habimana.
