Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>EMMANUEL HABIYAMBERE, an actor and winner of the iAccelerator phase 3, is now head of Gisiza health Centre in Gicumbi District, Northern Province. The 29-year-old acts as Mudidi in \u2018Menya Wirinde\u2019, a Rwandan film that educates its audience about Sexual Reproductive Health among the Rwandan youth.<\/p>\n

Habiyambare combined hos passion for the arts with healthcare, and has five years of experience in health care provision where he worked in hospitals like Butaro Cancer Centre. Commenting about his appointment, he expressed his gratitude to the Rwandan Government for believing in the youth.<\/p>\n

What I can say about my appointment is that I am grateful to the Government of Rwanda for trusting me, it\u2019s so awesome to see how our Government believes in the youth and I\u2019m happy for that\u201d, he told The New Times. Asked about how he will juggle this new responsibility and acting he said,<\/p>\n

\u201cCombining filmmaking and health care provision is simple for me because \u2018Menya Wirinde\u2019 show is about availing sexual and reproductive health information for youth and also includes a minimum package of activities of the health centre so one is completing another\u201d.<\/p>\n

He told The New Times that \u201cthe Menya Wirinde project is doing well so far, the latest episode, directed by Frank from Kenya talks about drug and alcohol consumption and its consequences.\u201d The new responsibility comes with a focus on daily activities that help clinicians to improve their performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to focus on my daily responsibilities to uphold the trust. The challenge is having low effective workers where I have to help my clinicians with consultation, outreaches, and drug administration, ” Habiyambere said.<\/p>\n

Habiyambere\u2019s journey in filmmaking and acting<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMy journey in film acting started in 2011 when I was trained as a peer educator by the Imbuto Foundation in Bwisige Science School, Gicumbi district,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sketch and songs were part of the training as a tool to educate youth on sexual and reproductive health and rights for youth to reduce the high level of unwanted pregnancies in high schools.<\/p>\n

His idea of the Menya Wirinde series which talks about sexual and reproductive health came about in September last year. \u201cBasing on the pandemic I thought of the gap in accessing sexual and reproductive health for youth because they were not getting such information from health centres,\u201d Habiyambere said.<\/p>\n

Habiyambere was one of the winners of the iAccelerator phase 3 where his project called Menya Wirinde was selected among the four projects that won the competition.<\/p>\n

He holds an advanced diploma in general nursing from UR\/Byumba campus and an advanced certificate from Bwisige Science School in option of Mathematics, Chemistry and biology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
