how we are meeting needs in rwanda:
 |
Assistance to Child-Headed Households
Problem: Children left as the oldest survivors of families decimated by the 1994 genocide are severely marginalized in this country. They do not have enough food, live in deteriorated houses, can't afford education, have no skills and suffer from health problems and trauma.
Solution:
 |
Integrating and forming mutual help groups. |
|
Teaching better home management and improving household food security. |
|
Helping the development of micro-enterprise and entrepreneurial training and teaching employable skills. |
|
Teaching children about reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, hygiene, food preparation, diet, agricultural and livestock production, shelter and latrine construction, implementing micro-enterprise projects, and spiritual matters. |
|
|
Family Reunification
Problem: Many children got separated from their families during the war and genocide of 1994. Reunification of families is still a prerequisite for rebuilding the nation.
Solution: Reuniting activities include finding "lost" parents and reuniting them with their children and matching up children whose parents died with foster families in the same communities. |
