Help Create a Productive Learning Environment

Across the districts where Women for Women Rwanda works, women have continued to gather each week for training in health, rights, financial literacy, and vocational skills. This project provided tents and seating so that sessions could take place in a covered, dignified space rather than outdoors.

Strong winds damaged some of the tents, confirming what field teams had already learned: more durable, permanent structures would offer better protection going forward. This option is now being explored.

Progress was also made on childcare support for children who attend sessions with their mothers. Working with a specialist early childhood development partner, WfW-Rwanda completed the initial content for a caregiver's guide for children under three, which is now going through a validation process to check it is appropriate for the Rwandan context. Once finalised, the guide will be translated into Kinyarwanda and used to train programme graduates across all districts.

With a better space to learn in, women have been able to focus more fully on their training and carry that confidence into their businesses and homes.
