Our vision is to contribute to a more just and equitable society.


Our mission is realized through the Foundation’s two strategic pillars: The Center for Justice and Advocacy & The Center for Law and Innovation.

Center for Justice and Advocacy

The Center for Justice and Advocacy protects, promotes and preserves sexual and reproductive health rights of women and girls in Rwanda across three holistic programs: Access to Justice for victims of SGBV, Gender Policy Advocacy and Economic Gender Justice.

Center for Law and Innovation

The Center for Law and Innovation promotes the coexistence between law and innovation as a driver for sustainable development, with a focus on three complementary programs: Research & Knowledge Development, Startup Empowerment and Professional Development.

Our work is underpinned by the following sustainable development goals

Organisational Values

We are committed to an enabling culture that promotes personal and professional development and leadership capacity.

Inclusivity:
We believe in building a diverse, equitable and inclusive team that reflects the needs of the communities we serve.

Integrity:
We hold ourselves and our stakeholders to account and operate with transparency, honesty, and objectivity.

Innovation:
Innovation underpins our processes, decisions, and actions and directs our organisation’s evolution and growth.

Professionalism:
We ensure that all our services and engagements are conducted and executed passionately and excellently.

Ethics:
Ethical principles are entrenched in our cultural framework and permeate all interactions with staff, rights-holders and stakeholders.
