Tobacco, that knife of double edge for our children

Christophe Niyongabo

Adolescence is a period of physical, psychological and socio-cultural transformation, but also of curiosity, experimentation and acquisition.

Many children had become preys of tobacco industries. Other narcotics are used illicitly. Young people smoke it as if it were nothing. The question…

Isaac Irakoze

Unintended pregnancies in the school environment in Burundi is a big challenge that shatters dreams for many girls. What should be done to prevent and reduce them?
