Women for Women International – Rwanda has served women through programs. The training helps women influence decisions at home and in their communities, initiate activities that generate income, and save money for the future, contributing to economic self-sufficiency in their lives and for their families. Rwanda remains one of the world’s poorest and most aid-dependent nations, with nearly half the rural population living below the poverty line.

This location is located in the small town of Kayonza. It is in a rural area and teaches women to help them learn trades by making home made products to earn money for their families. It is designed as a mini village with a series of pavilions built to blend in with the landscape.

The center is home to about 300 Rwandan women.
