Support Women GAIN Rwanda

GAIN is an acronym for Gender Advocacy, Initiatives, and Networking and defines our mission and programs globally and in Rwanda.


We so appreciate your support for Women GAIN. Women GAIN Rwanda is a new Rwandan-based NGO. We're building an online and in-person community space based in Kigali to network with young women dedicated to feminist activism, political and civic engagement, and a commitment to public service.



Contributions support our core initiatives:

  • Young women's leadership team in Rwanda who actually staff Women GAIN AND Global GAIN too!
  • The Intwari Women program. Intwari means brave in Kinyarwanda. We train them to be brave, creative, entrepreneurial, democratic, civic, and political leaders. Using digital tools to do advocacy, networking, and service.
  • Ndoto Za Kifeministi (Feminist Dreams) networking, fundraising, and communications events.
  • Communications. Our team uses storytelling and a variety of public social platforms to promote and advocate for women in public life. We empower young women with digital skills, training on politics and policy, professional development, communications, fundraising, program/project management, politics, democracy, and human rights education.


Women GAIN is located in Kigali, Rwanda, at the Kiyovu Compound: A community center called Ndoto Za Kifeministi (For Feminist Dreams) which also provides cultural, arts, food service, and wellness activities, guest housing (Airbnb), and a wide variety of creative events and retreats for local women NGOs and other local and international visitors.
