Sustainable livelihoods
Problem
In Rwanda, 4 in 10 people live in poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 per day. Women facing heightened vulnerability. Over 86.3% of households rely on agriculture, yet 1 in 5 experience food shortages. Child stunting affects 3 in 10. In the community we served, 4 in 10 households suffer food shortages, worsening malnutrition in both children and mothers. We call to bridge these gaps to improve livelihoods, food security, and access to essentials, especially for women-led households
Solution
We empower women as frontlines to improve maternal and child health through nutrition education, and access to nutritious foods. We initiate women-led co-create farming enterprises to enhance food security and empower families economically, through training, resources, and access to markets to treat all forms of hunger.
