On Saturday 31st May, 2025 in Rubavu District, Nyakiriba Sector ULK Gisenyi campus students and staff along with the Rubavu District Mayor, members of parliament, security officials, and local community participated in Umuganda.
Umuganda is a national community activity that takes place on the last Saturday of each month. It’s a tradition where Rwandans and people who live in Rwanda voluntarily engage in public works to improve their communities, fostering unity, development, and social responsibility. Umuganda translates to “coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome”.
