Dear Patrons,
We warmly invite you to support the Empower 25 Girls project, an initiative of the Rwandan Youth Development and Voluntary Organization (RWAYDAVO) that will launch in September 2026.
This project will provide 25 marginalized girls and young women (ages 15–35) with vocational training in fashion design and sewing, handicraft production, handbag making, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. These skills will enable them to earn sustainable incomes, become financially independent, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
Many of these girls are out of school, orphaned, adolescent mothers, or formerly street-connected. Without opportunities to learn employable skills, they remain vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, and gender-based violence. Your support will help break this cycle by providing practical training, essential equipment, and a pathway to meaningful employment.
Our total project budget is USD 10,000. Thanks to the generosity of 11 donors, we have raised USD 234, leaving USD 9,766 still needed to begin the project on schedule in September 2026.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to transforming the lives of these young women. Together, we can provide hope, dignity, and lasting opportunities through education, skills development, and economic empowerment.
We sincerely thank you for your generosity and partnership in creating a brighter future for Rwanda's most vulnerable girls.
