Imigisha Running Club Umuganda Clean-Up Event

Imigisha Running Club is partnering with the African Youth and Community Organization (AYCO) to help clean up a recently purchased plot of land behind the AYCO main facility. This space needs vegetation clean-up and removal to help AYCO host a graduation celebration in June.

This event is a the first “Umagnda” community clean-up that Imigisha Running Club is planning host on a regular basis. The concept of Umagnda comes from Rwanda (where co-founder Nahumo was born) where the community comes together once a month to work with the purpose of contributing to the overall national development. What a way to kick-off the Umagnda clean-ups by supporting AYCO prepare to host their graduation celebration!
