Introduction to YWCA Rwanda

YWCA Rwanda is striving for a world where all women live free from poverty and where they and their rights are respected.

A group of thirty women set up the organisation in 1995 to support people widowed or orphaned by the genocide.

We now have 1,450 members and have helped 20,000 vulnerable people across four of Rwanda's five provinces.

Our mission is to develop the leadership and collective power of women and girls in Rwanda to achieve high quality education, health and socio-economic conditions for themselves and their communities.

YWCA Rwanda is affiliated to World YWCA and is a member of YWCA's East African Network. We are a non-governmental, non-profit organisation.
