Speaking to our reporter after the meeting, Mukombozi said that it’s so unfortunate that even though they informed some of the leaders in the district, most of his members were stopped from carrying out their activities of registering community members.

He added that the members had certificates to present in public and assured the public that the organization is fully registered in the district and the government knows, unlike other Non-governmental organizations which come and disappear with people’s money.

Sabiti Ambrose, the chief Executive officer of Rubanda Youths Family and Development organization said the organization is going to promote poverty eradication programs through a six-point strategic plan which includes: a piggery production farm that started operating in August this year and they have already distributed 57 pigs  in the community, catering service center, Poultry production farm, Babies Home to rehabilitate needy children with Nursery and primary section, Health center with an Ambulance and a vocational center to equip youths with different skills and that this is going to be achieved through fundraising and support from other well-wishers

Medard Turamyomwe from the Technical department advised members to embrace the program first before the community members.

Some of the members including Akampurira Alex, and Aharintuma Diana Nalongo, said the politicians have affected their work despite them having certificates.

They however attributed this to some of the previous organizations that came and disappeared after extorting money from the community.

They further demanded the executive to quicken the operationalization of the office in Rubanda for easy accessibility of the organization. This organization started operating on 8th April 2020.
