Background
Transforming Lives,Empowering Women
The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) of Rwanda is a dynamic, non-governmental, and non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting and empowering women and girls throughout the country. As a grassroots membership organization, YWCA Rwanda focuses on promoting gender equality, building leadership skills, advancing women’s rights, and improving the well-being of communities—especially the most vulnerable.
Since its establishment in 1995, and following its official recognition by the Government of Rwanda in September 2005, YWCA Rwanda has grown into a national movement. Today, it operates in 21 districts, actively engaging in programs that address education, health, economic empowerment, peacebuilding, and advocacy.
Our organization serves as a safe space where young women and girls can gain the confidence, skills, and opportunities needed to shape their futures and become active agents of change in their communities.
The YWCA Rwanda Head Office is located in Niboye Sector, Kicukiro District, serving as the central coordination point for all our nationwide programs and initiatives.
