Educational Follow up
Education is the foundation of one's sustainability in his or her life. However, many people (parents) do not understand how to effectively educate their children. Some parents think that educating the children equal to find them excellent schools, bright teachers, updates books, additional courses,…IUC is not ignoring services illustrated above, but recognizes other parametric issue which had not really understood in the past years: why do children fail in their respective classes despite the effort made or get less than what was expected to get? Why do youth are dropping their schools despite the parents or caretaker efforts? Why parental-child relationship is broken despite the fortune in the family?
Based to that scenario, and in line with IUC mission and vision, IUC has taken an initiative to conduct an assessment to get accurate information which will help in development of the Youth Education Program so that it will provide a long term solution to the identified problems which are nowadays impacting negatively our society of Rwanda, therefore this is ruining our future generation.
We have to take human being as whole which cannot be divisible into parts. We have to adopt the approach which will allow us to assess all aspects which can contribute to the education of the children. The child as an individual, the child as an element of family, the child as an element in the society with peers and elders who seem to have an influence on his or her life. In addition to that, the data which will be collected will be helpful for Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual approach which will help us to understand more who we are working with.

Inshema ry'Umuryango conducts rehabilitation services aimed at helping young adults who are having psychosocial and behavior disturbances resulted by alcohol and drug abuse, delinquencies and those who are maladjusted in society.
Baby care center
Human rights principles, anti-child labor laws and many other policies have brought change in Rwandan families and promoted education to all children. This change impact on family's life and implies the use of little house girls/boys from poor families to stay in family and assure house responsibilities including child care and child rearing and this is not allowed because it consists of preventing them their rights. At a certain level, parents are not always sure of the service given to babies especially that many of these house servants are not trained in this domain and are a kind of neglected group of people who seem to have neglecting behavior. This causes a development of intense anxiety of parents fearing from mistreatment of their children by such child care givers. The experience is that some children develop bad habits learnt from house keepers.
To this social problem, CIU will provide assistance to solve it in different ways including the following
Provide trained and talented house keepers to families
Train house boys/girls according to the required skills
Keeping babies and children in the center with all necessary cares until parents become available at home.
Psychometric assessment
This consists of testing one's aptitude to perform a given task. It is done by combining multi-disciplinary oriented tests. Psychometric assessment is mostly used in human resources departments in recruitments, staff promotion and special commission setting.
Event management
The center recognizes that happiness and brightness is a result of games, fans and enjoyments and these can't be found outside of creation of social events like ceremonies, study tours, picnics, and team building. For that, it can contract with anyone interested like individuals, families or organizations wishing to explore and enjoy the role of such events in making the family most happier. Within this component, we found:
