Since that time, Rwanda has started working to rebuild its economic and social infrastructure.

Through education, community participation and health awareness, these women will be able to provide for themselves and their families. ActivitiesWomen for Women International have provided malaria prevention training, job skills trainings which include basket weaving, bead work, knitting, tie-dye, tailoring, beekeeping, mushroom-growing, catering, and food processing.
