CARE Rwanda Newsletter Issue 2

This newsletter issue celebrates CARE Rwanda’s 40th anniversary, highlighting its enduring commitment to transformative impact from early environmental initiatives like planting over 3.5 million trees and providing clean water to 70,000 people. It features the successful conclusion of the Gender Equality and Women Empowerment Project (GEWEP III), which reached over 274,000 direct beneficiaries and improved women’s financial empowerment, alongside achievements of the Developing Entrepreneurship and Literacy in Rwanda (DEAL) project. The newsletter also showcases the SERVE project, funded by Mastercard Foundation, which creates dignified employment in agriculture for youth, and spotlights CARE’s Nexus programming, bridging humanitarian assistance with sustainable development for refugees, all made possible by the unwavering support of partners and donors.

Newsletter Inaugural Issue

This inaugural issue of CARE Rwanda’s newsletter showcases the organization’s collaborative efforts with partners to create meaningful transformation in Rwandan communities. The newsletter features inspiring stories of resilience, including how programs have empowered women to venture into chicken farming through microloans, supported refugees and host communities in unlocking economic potential through livelihoods interventions at Mugombwa camp, and addressed harmful social norms that limit women’s access to the digital economy and generate intimate partner violence. It also highlights initiatives to overcome adult illiteracy, opening new possibilities for women’s empowerment and achievement.
