In the Walungu territory, Karhongo/Nyangezi grouping, the organization COSAWOH carried out an awareness campaign aimed at reducing the risks associated with explosive remnants of war. These munitions, left on the ground following armed conflicts, pose a persistent threat to local populations. Children and young people, often exposed during their movements or play, are particularly vulnerable. Objectives : • Inform communities about the nature and dangers of explosive remnants of war. • Prevent accidents by sharing simple, practical safety measures. • Strengthen responsible behaviour among students and families to protect human lives. The intervention took place at Institut TUJIKAZE in Nyangezi and reached 392 students, including 218 girls. The session combined presentations, interactive exchanges and age-appropriate educational demonstrations. Facilitators used clear language and concrete examples to make the messages easy to understand and adopt. Main topics covered • Risk identification: recognizing the signs of an explosive device and understanding why it must never be touched. • Prevention measures: safe routes, reporting to the competent authorities, and rules to follow if an item is discovered. • Behaviours to adopt: how to alert others, move to a safe distance and protect those nearby. Teaching methods included visual presentations, role-playing scenarios, question-and-answer sessions and the distribution of simple, memorable messages. The activity concluded successfully and achieved the following: • Increased vigilance among students and improved ability to recognize dangerous situations. • Greater individual and collective responsibility within the school. • Creation of a community relay: sensitized students can pass on the messages to their families and neighbours. This action represents a concrete step toward reducing accidents related to explosive remnants and protecting local populations. COSAWOH issues an urgent appeal to donors, humanitarian partners and local authorities to: • Provide financial and logistical support to scale up awareness sessions in schools and villages. • Strengthen coordination between local actors, demining services and educational institutions. • Integrate explosive-remnant prevention into school curricula and community activities. The danger remains acute; prevention and education are essential levers to save lives and restore a sense of security in the region.
