A Week at Home
Inspiring diaspora youth to spend a week in Mulenge, building peace, unity, and healthy futures.
Iyinga i Muhira means A Week at Home. It is CHACHU’s homecoming project. We have sent two cohorts of youths and young adults to Mulenge with a clear intention: inspire people in the diaspora to visit their homeland, reconnect with their roots, and serve the community while they are there.
On the ground, the week becomes more than a trip home. It is a chance to unite young people through sport, conversation, and education.
Iyinga i Muhira — A Week at Home.
Mulenge, homeland for many in the Banyamulenge diaspora.
Two cohorts of youths and young adults have already traveled with CHACHU.
The hills and valleys that call diaspora youth home, and moments from the cohorts on the ground.
Once in Mulenge, CHACHU organizes activities that bring youth together and open space for healing and learning.
A tournament that unites youth across the community, building friendship through sport.
Talks focused on peace, unity, and reconciliation among young people.
Education for young men on preventing sexually transmitted diseases and promoting safe practices.
Iyinga i Muhira bridges the diaspora and Mulenge. A week at home strengthens identity and belonging. Organizing football, peace talks, and sexual health education turns that visit into service for unity today and healthier communities tomorrow.
This work stands alongside Education, Women Empowerment, and CYCF.
