WATCH: In the hills of Muhanga District, women are mastering seedling grafting—a skill once seen as only for men! These high-quality seedlings will boost their income and protect the land from erosion, thanks to Socio-Economic Empowerment of Women through Access to Energy (SEWAE), a project funded by @AFD_France and @ccfd_tsolidaire under the FACE Programme( Féministe pour des Alternatives Climat et Environnement), in partnership with ACORD Rwanda. Meanwhile, men are stepping up at home, sharing house chores, and embracing change. Plus, modern cooking stoves are making life easier, saving time and firewood.

Empowerment starts with action! #SEWAEProject
