"When there are many children at home, there is a risk of not satisfying all their needs and its even hard to listen to them.”

Obed Bugingo, 14, Sinai Hill Academy, P.6.

"If the family is rich it’s fine to have more than three children but a poor family should give birth to children they are able to look after.”

Shukur Mugwneza, 10, Kigali Infant School, P.5.

"Many children in poor families cause conflict. It’s hard to control many children especially if you can’t provide for their needs.”

Muhssin Niyomubyeyi, 13, Remera Protestant Primary School, P.5.

"On the side of the children, if we are many in a family and there is little money, things like feeding and other necessities are very poor.”
