The Center for Justice and Advocacy (CJA), through its Economic Gender Justice Program, is committed to reaking the cycle of poverty and gender-based violence (GBV) that disproportionately affects vulnerable women and girls in Rwanda. This program is built on the understanding that economic empowerment and education are powerful tools for justice, dignity, and long-term transformation.
Get Started

Educational support for Teen Mothers: Providing scholarships for teen mothers to enroll in top Rwandan high schools, along with counseling, career guidance, and justice support.
Vocational & Entrepreneurship Training: Offering out-of-school teen mothers training in income-generating skills for economic independence.
Economic Empowerment for Women with Disabilities: Combining financial literacy, entrepreneurship education, and pig farming as a sustainable income source.
Community Engagement & Advocacy: Raising awareness on gender-based violence and strengthening support systems for women and girls.
We work with leading schools such as Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology, Excella School, Sonrise High School, St. Antoine Secondary School Karangazi, Maranyundo Girls School, and Cornerstone Leadership Academy to ensure access to quality education for vulnerable girls and Teen mothers.
Special gratitude to our Strategic partners Empower Africa and Redeemed Camp whose support enables us to provide tuition and essential resources for beneficiaries, empowering them to thrive in school and beyond.
When a girl is educated, a woman is empowered. When a woman is empowered, a family is uplifted. When a family is uplifted, a generation is transformed."
