Aspire Rwanda offers a variety of programs to empower women and the youth: vocational skills training, business skills training, micro-credit loans, agricultural support (for participants living in rural areas) and a robust social empowerment and health education program. With new skills, knowledge and confidence, our participants are able to secure jobs, start their own businesses or expand their businesses. In doing so, they acquire a steady source of income improving their quality of life. While participants are learning vocational skills, their children are given the opportunity to learn and play at Aspire's childcare center
