YB Foundation, an initiative dedicated to preserving the legacy of the late musician Yvan Buravan, is gearing up to initiate a cancer awareness campaign in Bugesera District on Friday, November 17.
Named ‘Turi Kumwe,’ this campaign aims to raise awareness about cancer, the ailment that took the life of the renowned artist on August 17, 2022.
Following Yvan Buravan’s passing, his siblings and friends came together to establish the YB Foundation, carrying forward the initiatives and work he had begun.Top of Form
The campaign’s primary objectives will primarily focus on educating individuals about cancer and its risk factors, urging the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, it aims to emphasize the importance of early detection in cancer prevention.
In that perspective, they have established Turikumwe workout zones in select districts, offering residents an opportunity to engage in workouts alongside their favorite celebrities, enjoy performances by various artists, and undergo screenings for cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
These varied activities are strategically designed to cultivate a culture of health awareness, empowering individuals to actively adopt a healthy lifestyle and prioritize early detection practices.
Yvan Buravan, born Burabyo Yvan on April 27, 1995, was the youngest of six siblings. He sang in Kinyarwanda and English, blending Afro, RnB, and pop in his debut album. He received the RFI Discoveries Award in 2018.
