But with this donation, we are so happy, now it will be easy for us to have meetings in good working conditions. We also use this room for the supervision of the young people of the network around CDS Rweza, these young people will feel comfortable.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask SYM and GIZ/Health to continue to support CDS Rweza, especially so that the supervision of these young people in CDS can take place under the best possible conditions". She added.
