The Boy’s centre is in the town of Kaborondo, about 14km south of
Kayonza where the central office is situated. It used to serve boys and
girls, but in 2009 the girls were relocated to Kayonza and the boys
remained in Kaborondo. There is room for 50 boys in the centre. They
have kitchen facilities, bathrooms, a large classroom and a small plot
of agricultural land at the back. The centre is a 2 minute walk from the
local football pitch, a convenience of which advantage is often taken!
