Friday, 20 December 2024 - Kirehe Distrisct, which is among the five districts hosting refugee camps, is witnessing transformative development through the Social Economic Inclusion of Refugees and Host Communities (SEIRHC) Project, also known as Jya Mbere.

The initiative, funded by the World Bank, aims to improve the lives of both refugees and host community members by enhancing access to essential services such as schools, roads, markets, and health centres among others.

The Mayor of Kirehe District Mr. Bruno RANGIRA, commends the infrastructures constructed in Kirehe under Jya Mbere saying; the schools, among others infrastructures stand as a testament to the power of partnerships in advancing development of the district.

Beyond providing technical education, TVETs constructed are expected to drive local economic growth. Skilled graduates from the schools will contribute to the labor market and inspire innovative solutions for community challenges.
