A new youth center has been inaugurated in Tumba Sector, Huye District, designed to provide a dedicated space for sports, recreation, and the development of youth talents. The facility features specialized courts for mini-football, basketball, and volleyball, and is intended to serve young people from across the district. The project, which cost over 236 million Rwandan francs, was completed through a partnership between the Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA) and Huye District, supported by the World Bank under the Rwanda Urban Development Project (RUDP). Local youth have welcomed the development, noting that the lack of adequate sports infrastructure previously hindered their ability to practice and showcase their skills. Ndungutse Callixte, a local resident, stated that the center provides a long-awaited opportunity for young athletes to train and compete at a higher level. Another resident, Habumugiza Eliezel, emphasized that the facility will serve as a hub for social interaction, allowing youth to exchange ideas while engaging in physical activity. Parents in the community have also expressed support for the initiative, suggesting that the center will help keep young people productively occupied and steer them away from negative influences. “We are pleased that the youth now have a place to engage in sports and recreation,” said Marita Nyirasikubwabo, a local parent. “We believe this will help them use their time wisely and develop their talents.” Muhawenimana Vestine, the official in charge of Youth, Sports, and Culture in Huye District, explained that the center aims to identify and nurture hidden talents that were previously overlooked due to a lack of facilities. She noted that the center is open to all youth and will also host cultural activities and the “Intore” program during school holidays. According to district officials, the construction of this center is part of a broader strategy to expand sports infrastructure across various sectors in Huye to foster talent development and promote physical fitness among the youth.
