ABOUT US

LWD (Learn Work Develop) is a public interest non -governmental organization created by the “VESE” (Volunteers for Effective Work and Sustainable Employment) on 5^th November 2013 in the purpose of contributing to Rwandan governmental programs related to the productivity and youth employment, focusing primarily on education, life skills development and job creation among the young girls and women. 

The reasons which motivated the VESE to create this organization are the following:

-          Jobless among the youth

-          The youth age is the suitable period to prepare the future for him/herself and the country

-          There are different programs available in favor of the youth, but the youths are not aware of those programs (VISION 2020, EDPRS II, 7YGP, NEP, BDF, …), more especially the young girls

-          Some of the youths want to achieve many things without any kind of tiredness and despise many important/productive professions.

Therefore, these reasons may be the causes of the following consequences:

-          HIV/AIDS and other diseases

-          Early  marriage

-          Early and unwanted pregnancies conducting to the death and/or other related illness and disabilities (fistula, …)

-          Drug abuse and other bad behaviors (risky sexual relations, …)

-          Economic dependence conducting to the frequentation of sugar daddies and sugar mummies

To prevent and deal with all above problems, the VESE organized in Learn Work Develop (LWD) initiated six programs through which different activities must be done.
