Access to proper sanitation is essential for protecting public health, promoting dignity, and improving the living conditions of families. Demonstrating their commitment to community development, youth volunteers in Jali Sector, Gasabo District, joined a community work activity (Umuganda) on Saturday, 17 October 2026, to support the construction of toilets for residents of Muko Cell.
