Nyamirambo Women's Center

Nyamirambo Women's Center, a Rwandan NGO, was launched at the end of 2007 by 18 women living in Nyamirambo, Kigali. Together they created a project which aimed to address gender-based violence, gender inequality and discrimination, problems faced today by many Rwandan women. NWC's mission today is to provide education and training to disadvantaged women so that they can gain better opportunities for employment.

NWC has become an important community centre for women in Nyamirambo, by offering free classes in literacy, English, basic computer skills, handicrafts and sewing, empowerment trainings on gender based violence and trainings on responsible community based tourism.
