WHAT WE DO

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty for Women and Girls in Rural Rwanda

At Dorcas Consolation Family (DCF), we believe that lasting change begins when women and girls are empowered to take control of their future.

We uplift vulnerable female–led households and girls in rural communities out of poverty through Education, Financial Inclusion, and Healthcare, three interconnected pillars that restore dignity, strengthen families, and transform communities.

EDUCATION

Opening Doors to a Brighter Future

Education is more than a right; it is a lifeline. In rural Rwanda, too many girls are kept out of school by poverty, cultural norms, or the lack of simple resources like school uniforms or sanitary pads.

Impact: Girls stay in school longer, delay early marriage, and aim for higher education—becoming role models and catalysts for change in their communities.


Your support keeps girls learning.

Sponsor Education Today
Through our education programs, we:
  • Enrol and keep girls in school through direct support and community engagement.
  • Provide school supplies, uniforms, and menstrual health kits so girls never miss class.
  • Deliver life skills and leadership training to prepare girls for both work and community leadership.
FINANCIAL INCLUSION

Building Pathways to Economic Independence

For female-headed households, the weight of poverty is heavy, but with the right tools, women can lift entire families out of hardship.

Impact: Women grow sustainable incomes, pay school fees for their children, invest in better housing, and contribute to community development.


Help a woman start her journey to financial freedom.

Give Now
Our financial inclusion initiatives:
  • Organise Village Savings & Loan Associations (VSLAs) where women save, lend, and invest collectively.
  • Offer vocational and entrepreneurship training aligned with local market needs.
  • Provide financial literacy skills: budgeting, record-keeping, and investment planning.
  • Link women to fair markets to sell their goods and services.
HEALTHCARE

Restoring Health, Preserving Dignity

No woman or child should suffer because healthcare is too far or too costly. DCF brings essential health services closer to the communities we serve.

Impact: Healthier mothers, stronger children, and communities equipped with the knowledge to prevent illness and safeguard well-being.


Ensure no woman goes without care.

What happening

Together, We Can Transform Generations

Our work is built on the belief that when you empower a woman, you uplift a family, and when you uplift families, you transform entire communities.

Every gift, every partnership, and every act of volunteering helps us move closer to a Rwanda where every girl can dream, learn, and lead.
