Whew!! The website doesn’t get updated for a few weeks and there is SO much to tell. Not only do 
Elizabeth and Paul promote literacy and minister to their community, they also support the Rwandan people in other ways. Their most recent project was the training of 28 women and 2 men through the Kimisagara Youth Centre in entrepreneurship
This training was to prepare for the launch of a sewing and knitting self sustaining initiative to empower these ladies. Through this initiative Grace Rwanda will launch Days for Girls where they will start their recyclable hygienic pads project aimed to support other girls/women who miss school or stay home while menstruating.
This initiative is about promoting gender equality and basic human rights for girls and women in Rwanda so they can participate fully in society with no limitations.
The group that participated in this endeavour received a free hygienic kit thanks to The Riverside Calvary Chapel Sewing Bees (http://riversidecalvary.com) and Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise (https://portal.clubrunner.ca/799). They made and donated over 500 kits that are being distributed throughout Rwanda as a pilot project for needs assessment.
This project will be undertaken through an existing partnership between Grace Rwanda/Ineza Foundation and The Ministry of Youth in the 10 libraries that have been established. These libraries will include a small children’s corner to allow patrons who are mums with young children to come in and work while their children enjoy the books. This is a true example of how the literacy project is promoting gender equality!!
Showing off their projects!!
