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!

Haven’t gotten over this beautiful day yet.

Does your workplace wait for Christmas to celebrate each other?

Well, for us we believe good people deserve a little celebration along the way.

Here is a little throwback to our coffee hour.

Empowering girls to lead, speak up and shape their futures!

Afro Ark, with support from the Girls Opportunity Alliance, is bringing together 40 adolescent girls from 10 schools in Nyagatare for a 3 day workshop on sexuality education, leadership, power dynamics and gender equality.
Together, we're building knowledge, confidence and leadership skills to help girls reach their full potential.

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.
