The BAHO program (Building and Strengthening Healthy Households) aims to help couples live in safe, violence-free homes using the Indashyikirwa model. Funded and directed by Care Rwanda and implemented with RWAMREC's assistance, it uses a curriculum co-designed by CARE International Rwanda and RWAMREC.

Since 2019, RWAMREC, with funding from USAID (Twiceceka program) and the International Organization of Francophonie (OIF), has supported teen mothers in Huye. They received training in gender, sexual reproductive health and rights, financial literacy, economic empowerment, and entrepreneurship. Through forming saving groups and starting income-generating activities, these teen and single mothers regained self-confidence and hope for their future and their children.

Under PPIMA Phase IV, RWAMREC implemented the Community Score Card model in Rulindo and Bugesera districts to promote citizen participation in local governance. Through weekly community forums, residents identified key issues—from poor service delivery to cases of SGBV—which were prioritized and addressed in collaboration with local authorities. The initiative led to tangible improvements in infrastructure and service delivery, while empowering communities to hold leaders accountable and advocate for their rights.

RWAMREC’s FCDO-funded project empowered marginalized groups—women, youth, people with disabilities, and the elderly—to actively participate in local governance through tools like the Community Scorecard. The project strengthened citizens’ voices, built leaders’ capacity on gender and inclusion, and supported local and national governments in developing inclusive policies to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
