Provide the greatest impact possible by giving where it is most needed.

What are the needs?

Poverty, illiteracy, and gender imbalance are the major problems that can be found among women in Rwanda. Those who rely solely on their husbands or traditional farming find their family struggling to meet their daily needs.

What can be done to help?

By making literacy programs, self-help groups, and family ministries available, there are currently 11 communities being impacted. The literacy programs help women learn to read, write, and count so that they are better equipped to start a business or gain employment. The self-help groups create opportunities for women to develop a business. Some products created by the self-help groups include baskets, crops, and furniture. The family ministries help families in promoting a safe home environment where every family member feels safe to contribute in the family’s development on an equal basis. This ministry offers parenting clubs where families can discuss issues at home, as well as seminars and workshops related to gender roles, caring for your spouse, and other topics related to the family. This project also supports training more facilitators who can lead these workshops and parenting clubs.

How will your raised funds be used?

Women who have had access to vocational skills training are not only empowered to help contribute to their own family’s needs but also contribute to the development of the community in which they live. Your support will allow these programs to provide opportunities for women to grow their skills and ability to support themselves and their families, and for families to develop healthy and strong. These programs build hope for a better future, giving witness to the real-life Good News of Jesus.
