For the Poverty Eradication Program, the message should be about shifting from “relief” (giving aid) to “resilience” (building long-term independence). For Muyiminye, this is where you show how you help women break the cycle of poverty through financial tools and skill-building.

Poverty Eradication Program
From Vulnerability to Self-Reliance
Poverty is more than a lack of income; it is a lack of opportunity. Our program focuses on equipping rural women with the financial tools, vocational skills, and confidence they need to lift themselves and their families out of extreme poverty.
Our Strategic Interventions
-
Village Savings & Loans (VSLA): Establishing community-led savings groups where women can save small amounts and access low-interest loans to start or grow small businesses.
-
Vocational Skills Training: Providing hands-on training in income-generating activities such as tailoring, soap making, bakery, and handicraft production.
-
Financial Literacy: Educating women on budgeting, debt management, and reinvestment strategies to ensure their small enterprises remain profitable and sustainable.
-
Social Protection: Helping the most vulnerable households access government social grants and emergency support during times of crisis.
The Power of Economic Freedom
“When a woman has her own income, she gains a voice. She invests in her children’s education, improves her family’s health, and becomes a leader in her community.”
