NESS Workshop for School Principals

A workshop on NESS (Nutrition Education for School Students), a program that provides nutrition education to primary and lower secondary school students, was conducted for school principals.
During the activity report session, we shared how students actively participated and learned from one another. The principals showed strong interest and asked many questions about the program content and future implementation.
To continue NESS and provide learning opportunities to more students, the understanding and cooperation of schools, especially school principals, are essential. This workshop was also an important step toward improving nutrition in the community.

In partnership with the Japanese Red Cross Society, the Rwanda Red Cross has launched the NESS (Nutrition Education for School Students) programme in Mukindo Sector, Gisagara District.
NESS combines short lectures, interactive card games, and cooking practice to help students understand what a balanced diet is and how to apply this knowledge in their daily lives at home.
The learning materials are based on locally available foods that are familiar to the community, encouraging students to think about the nutritional needs of each person.
Developed together with health center staff and school teachers, NESS reflects the realities of the local context. We hope this initiative will be an important step toward improving nutrition in Mukindo Sector.

A new step forward has emerged from Solidarity Clubs in Gisagara District, showing the power of unity and collective action.

Through weekly savings and the valuable support of the Rwanda Red Cross, members of Solidarity Clubs have successfully established a poultry that is currently raising around 800 chicks. During the Christmas season last December, the poultry proudly achieved its first shipment, a milestone worth celebrating!

Managed voluntarily by the Solidarity Clubs' members, the project thrives on their dedication in feeding, cleaning, and caring for the chicks every day.

Beyond being a source of income, this poultry initiative strengthens social bonds, promotes teamwork, and builds long-term community resilience.

This is an inspiring activity that needs to be encouraged.
