Imbogamizi
Abana bafite imirire mibi bahura n’ingaruka zayo ubuzima bwose. In the short term, malnutrition results in higher rates of mortality and decreased cognitive, motor and language development. Long-term consequences include an increase in non-communicable diseases, low school performance, and decreased work capacity.
Ultimately, this affects society as a whole, limiting the ability of younger generations to advance out of poverty and contribute to Rwanda’s development. Child mortality associated with malnutrition has already reduced Rwanda’s workforce by 9 per cent.
U Rwanda rwateye intambwe igaragara mu kurwanya imirire mibi. Hagati y’umwaka wa 2010 na 2015, ibigero by’imirire mibi ikabije mu bana bari munsi y’imyaka 5 – izwi nko “kugwingira” – byagabanutse biva kuri 44 ku ijana bigera kuri 38 ku ijana. Nubwo bwose ibigero byagabanutse ariko nanone biracyari hejuru.
Abasaga 800,000 by’abana b’abanyarwanda bari munsi y’imyaka 5 baragwingiye.
Ubushakashatsi bwerekana uko umwana akura,niko agira amahirwe yo kugwingira. 18 ku ijana gusa y’abana bari hagati y’amezi 6-8 baragwingiye, ariko iki gipimo kizamuka kuri 49 ku ijana y’abana bari hagati y’amezi 18-23 bagwingiye.
Abahungu nibo bakunze kugwingira kurusha abakobwa, n’abana bakunze kugwingira ni ababa mu miryango ikennye cyangwa se mu byaro.
Kugwingira bikabije biriho biterwa n’impamvu zitandukanye:
- Indyo idakwiye,
- Indwara ndwara ziva ku mpiswi,
- Ubuvuzi budakwiye,
- Inadequate brain stimulation.
Ingaruka z’igihe kirere z’ukugwingira ntizivaho kandi zitera ingaruka zikomeye mu bukuru.
Niyo mpamvu gushyiraho uburyo bushyirwaho bwo kugabanya ingaruka z’imirire mibi zigomba gutangira kuva umwana asama kugeza ku isabukuru ye y’imyaka ibiri. Iyi ni iminsi 1,000 y’ingenzi y’ubuzima.
