Support 70 street girls and teen/pre-teen mothers.

To all of our supporters and donors:

  On behalf of Centre Marembo and the girls and women of Rwanda, we want to thank you for supporting the important work we do. 

  The journey for preventing violence against young women in Rwanda and transforming the lives of the community of beneficiaries we work directly with, is very hard and complicated. It requires a lot of effort in terms of resources and synergies of actors.  This year has proven to be very challenging but no matter the difficulties and barriers we faced, Centre Marembo has continued supporting our community, which includes homeless young girls, victims of violence and rape, teen and pre-teen mothers, and their children.

  Centre Marembo will never stop and will continue to stand up for the rights of young girls and women in a world where their voice is unheard or ignored. The journey is long, but we make sure to celebrate all achievements big and small along the way.   

  Attached is a PDF report to show the accomplishments back from July 2022-July 2023, which is the time period we usually write official annual reports. We will continue mini-report updates that happened after July 2023 in the future GlobalGiving reports.

Once again, thank you for the ongoing support and spreading awareness on the matter of GBV.

Hello all!

It has been awhile since we made our last update. A report was suppose to be submitted a couple of weeks ago, however we were preoccupied with the renovation works of Centre Marembo's Rehabilitation and Reintegration shelter (sometimes known as Abatuje shelter) and its surroundings, we missed the submission deadline.

We still want to show you the work in progress of the renovation works, as shown one of the photos taken at the site. The renovated look of the shelter will have extended offices to have legal, counselling and support staff members for providing such services and guidance to adolescent mothers, GBV victims and children, in addition to physcotherapy, coaching, and lastly, the advocacy and promotion of children's and women's rights.

The same shelter will also have a ECD center for ages 3-6, where two already exisiting spaces will be used for classrooms, as well as providing a play area for the children.

The main shelter building will be renovated as well. The completion on the renovation works is undetermined, but we hope it will be ready within the next 2-3 months, depending on the factors (example: rainy or poor sunny weather).

This past year Centre Marembo attended the annual 16-days campaign, under the theme "UNITE: Build a Violence-free Society". 

We hope you all look forward to further updates on the Abatuje shelter's renovation process and other additional activities.
