Love Rwanda Initiative
A youth and women organisation focused on empowerment programs with an emphasis on Sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR), Mental health and Livelihoods.
-
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Limited access to information and SRHR services: Challenge: Young people and women in Rwanda still remain out of reach from adequate information prior to their first sexual act, which brews misconception of facts hence leading to risk behaviors. High levels of teenage pregnancy and unsafe abortion: Challenge: Teenage pregnancy rates remain high and many young women continue to resort to unsafe abortions since they cannot access safety services. Gender-Based Violence Challenge: Gender-based violence, in particular sexual assault and domestic violence, is rampant against the health and well-being of women and girls.
-
Mental Health: Stigma/Lack of Awareness Challenge: The stigmatization of mental health issues prevails with a corresponding lack of awareness and understanding about mental health in the community. Lack of Mental Health Services: Challenge: The avenues available for mental health services are very few, and the personnel is few in number; therefore, accessibility to the required aid becomes difficult.
-
Livelihoods: Unemployment and Underemployment: Challenge: Most youths and women face high levels of unemployment or low wage employment with no stability. Lack of Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Challenge: Women and youth lack resources and facilitation to start and sustain enterprises of their own. Economic Dependency: Challenge: Economic dependency on male family members constrains women's autonomy and puts them at a low decision-making power.
- Comprehensive sexual education programs, partnering with local clinics to provide easy access, and raising awareness campaigns regarding SRHR in the community.
- Contraception, family planning, and müş promoting safe and legal abortion services.
- Support service provision to survivors of GBV, including counseling and legal aid, with community education on prevention of violence against women for gender equality.
- Conduct sensitization and campaigns to raise awareness on mental health, reduction of stigma, and promotion of good mental health in the community.
- Counseling centers, training of mental health professionals with peer support groups
- Provide vocational-training programs for people with marketable skills that will enhance job employability.
- Provide entrepreneurship training skills and financial literacy accompanied by access to micro-finance and grants for people willing to start small businesses.
- Economic Empowerment by means of livelihood programs that allow women to generate their own income towards financial independence.

We are looking for a dynamic leader to help steer Peace Direct in the years ahead. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about the importance of supporting local civil society, who has strong experience of charity governance, and is accustomed to working collaboratively with the CEO and the Senior Leadership Team, and across cultural contexts to build a strong organisation. This is no ordinary Board Chair role. Peace Direct has been at the forefront of thinking about how the international NGO sector needs to transform itself, including how to tackle structural racism. We are looking for a Board Chairperson who will embrace the challenge of leading a Board that will model the changes we hope to see in the wider sector. As part of our commitment to shifting power, we are open to the idea of a co-Chair arrangement, with one Chair based in the Global South/Majority World.
The Chair will lead the Board in its role of ensuring clear strategic direction for PD, compliance with requirements for effective financial and people management, and sound corporate governance in line with PD’s own values and relevant regulatory frameworks. The Chair will also support and, where appropriate, challenge the Chief Executive and foster collaborative and constructive engagement within the Board and between the Board and Peace Direct’s management and staff. They should be willing to act as an ambassador and the public face of the charity as part of PD’s external communications efforts. The Chair will also line manage the Chief Executive in line with PD’s HR procedures.
