GESI learning exchange under the YEA-R Project took us beyond the meeting room and into farming communities in Musanze and Burera, where partners explored practical ways to strengthen inclusion, empowerment, voice, and agency.
Because real transformation happens when we turn what we learn into what we do!

Contraception is more than preventing unintended pregnancy. It is about choice, informed decisions, healthy families, and the freedom to plan your future.
Everyone deserves accurate information, respectful care, and access to contraception that meets their needs.

As part of the #YEA_R Program’s efforts to promote youth empowerment, self-reliance, and sustainable livelihoods, a graduation ceremony was held today at Kimonyi Sector Hall in @MusanzeDistrict for four groups that completed one year of engagement with the programme.
The four groups comprise 120 members, including 116 women, 4 men, and 21 persons with disabilities. The ceremony celebrated their achievements in agriculture, entrepreneurship and income generation, while promoting inclusion and opportunities for young women and youth with disabilities. Outstanding groups were also recognized for their achievements.
