11 MARCH 2022 ACTIVITIES
On 11 March 2022, the World commemorated the second year fighting against Covid 19 pandemic, it is a day, which was observed differently in different corners of the world mainly among health institutions and various non-governmental organisations.



It is in this line that TUMUKUNDE Initiative as a non-governmental organisation and member of GCAP Rwanda joined other sister organisations to commemorate the day in Rwanda.
The call and motive to commemorate the day was to raise awareness particularly on the western countries mainly countries manufacturing covid 19 vaccines to end monopolies by alleviating Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).

In this regard, TUMUKUNDE Initiative conducted a related campaign from the 4th March up to 11 March and it was marked by different activities including:
•Mobilisation through social media;

•Writing and delivering letters to different embassies based in Rwanda, representing western countries;

•Organising a press conference with the aim of spreading our message through Radio and TVs

•Mobilisation in schools and taxi parks

The Importance of Family and Community
We believe that children grow best in families. A child’s long-term developmental needs are best met within a family, rather than an institution like an orphanage. Strengthening the capacity of families and communities is the most effective way to address the needs of children made vulnerable by HIV, AIDS and poverty.

Respect for Community Owners /Being Agile, Adaptive, and Responsive/hip and Local Leadership/Being Collaborative
A community’s ownership and investment in forging its own solutions to local problems is essential to sustainability. We seek to learn from and to work in partnership with local leadership.
