From financial struggle to savings success: My financial empowerment story...
"When I became pregnant at 17, my family rejected me and I had nowhere to go. Rebejo took me in and provided not just shelter, but a path forward. Through their culinary arts training program, I discovered my passion for baking. Today, I own a small bakery that employs three other young mothers. My son is now in school, and I can provide for him with dignity."
"After experiencing violence and becoming pregnant, I fell into deep depression. My family blamed me, and I felt completely alone. Rebejo's counseling program helped me process my trauma and rebuild my sense of self-worth. The healing circles connected me with other women who understood my experience. Today, I volunteer as a peer counselor, helping other young mothers find their strength."
"As a single mother, I struggled to keep my daughter in school. The cost of uniforms, books, and supplies was overwhelming. Rebejo's educational support program provided everything she needed, and also helped me continue my own education through evening classes. Today, my daughter is thriving in school, and I've completed my secondary education and found employment as a teaching assistant."
"I was trapped in a cycle of debt and financial insecurity, unable to plan beyond the next day. Rebejo's financial empowerment program taught me budgeting, saving, and financial planning. I joined a savings group with other women, and we support each other's goals. I've now saved enough to expand my vegetable stand into a proper shop, and I'm putting aside money for my children's education."
Our programs currently operate in four districts across Rwanda, with plans to expand to additional regions in the coming years.

Detailed analysis of training outcomes and employment rates
Mental health improvements and community reintegration
Our collaboration with Caritas Rwanda has been instrumental in expanding our reach and enhancing our data collection capabilities. Together, we've developed comprehensive monitoring and evaluation frameworks to measure our impact accurately.
Joint data collection across all four operational districts
Standardized outcome measurement tools and methodologies
Shared resources for program evaluation and improvement
Combined advocacy efforts based on collected data
Our research identified limited access to education, economic opportunities, and social support as the primary factors contributing to vulnerability among teenage and single mothers.
Holistic approaches that combine skills training, psychological support, and community reintegration show the highest success rates in creating sustainable change.
Economic independence, educational attainment of children, mental wellbeing, and community acceptance are the most reliable indicators of long-term program success.
Data suggests that expanding to additional rural districts would address significant unmet needs, particularly in areas with limited access to support services.
