Firstly, . During all our activities, we will work with ministry of health through inviting them in our activities, giving them the evaluation result and report; this will show the minister of health that people in slums are other people that can be also saved against several diseases generally . However, our project will be done in one of 5 provinces of Rwanda, at the end of our project we will ask the minister of health to fund our project so that it continues to work in the province and implement it in other 4 provinces. We expect that she will accept because we think that she feared the way that the government project can be controlled and progress in prison but our project is non government and nonprofit; Consequently, she will chose to fund our project that has the experience than to implement other projects.Thus, it is expected that through all those different contribution our project will be sustained.
