In Rwanda, CECI supports the economic empowerment of vulnerable women: farmers and breeders, heads of household and young mothers, those living in refugee camps or involved in cross-border trade. Although considerable progress has been made towards gender equality in Rwanda, especially at the political level, the situation of women in at the household level requires effort. CECI volunteers work in collaboration with civil society organizations to improve women's economic opportunities. In collaboration with women's rights organizations, volunteers also support the creation of an enabling environment for gender equality.

Partner organisation

L’Association des Femmes de Kigali dans le Sport (AKWOS) a été créée pour lutter contre les stéréotypes qui limitaient la participation des femmes aux activités sportives, en particulier dans le contexte post-génocide où les croyances culturelles favorisaient la domination masculine dans le sport. En introduisant le football féminin, AKWOS a brisé ces barrières, aidant les femmes à surmonter l’isolement et la dépression. Au fil du temps, l’organisation s’est élargie pour inclure d’autres sports comme outil d’autonomisation des femmes et est devenue une plateforme pour aborder des questions sociales cruciales telles que l’unité et la réconciliation, l’égalité des genres, la violence basée sur le genre (VBG), la prévention du VIH et l’autonomisation économique des femmes. L’organisation sert principalement des groupes vulnérables, tels que les adolescentes (âgées de 14 à 19 ans) et les mères célibataires.
