Children and Youth Sports Organization calls for more partners as it moves to expand Mass Sports for Pregnant Women program

The leadership of the Children and Youth Sports Organization (C&YSO), which organizes sports training sessions for expecting mothers says that it needs to partner with different organizations so that the session can be held frequently for the benefit of mothers and their unborn children.


This was said by Mukasa Nelson who runs C&YSO on Saturday, March 4, 2023, during 3rd training session held in Gasabo District which brought together mothers with the aim of helping them improve their health.


In general, sports are important for all categories of people, especially for pregnant women, even though many people think differently but it helps with leg swelling, back pain, and emotional fluctuations. It has also been found that pregnant women are more likely to experience mental health problems.


The participants were also lectured on violence against pregnant women, proper nutrition for pregnant mothers and small children, how to take care of the baby in the womb, and various other things, and were tested for various diseases voluntarily.


Speaking after the event Mukasa said that he was happy with how the event went and called on various partners to participate in such activities there is a need for doctors, ambulances, equipment, medicines, and other expensive items


He added that once there is enough capacity this event will be held more often and not only in Kigali but also throughout the country.


“So far we have organized three events, the aim is to take this program upcountry. Exercise for pregnant women requires a lot of things because it is not like for normal people. That is why we encourage different people to join us and help mothers to give birth to healthy children. We are planning to do the next ones in the provinces, and go around the country," Mukasa said.


He added that next time they will invite girls who will become future mothers and men because they are responsible for taking care of pregnant women.


“I take this opportunity to appreciate Imbuto Foundation for its message on boasting positive brain development of the foetus in the womb, HDI Rwanda, City of Kigali, Gasabo District, RBC, Non-Governmental Organization (AKWOS), Ministry of Equity and Community Development, and Rwanda National Police who are our partners and have made this event possible,” he said.


In addition to organizing sports for pregnant women, the Children and Youth Sports Organization carry out various activities, including the fight against drugs, and the fight against the AIDS virus with a particular focus on young people, as well as promoting the talents of young children in various games and sports.
