Care International Rwanda Developing and Delivering Digital Entrepreneurship Content Jobs

Introduction

Founded internationally in 1945, and in Rwanda in 1984, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.

We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.

CARE International aims to be a global force and a partner of choice within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty.

CARE places special focus on working alongside poor women and girls because, equipped with the proper resources, they have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women and girls are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve education, health, and economic opportunity.

Background

Since 1984, the main value added of CARE’s programs in Rwanda has been to innovate learning by doing approaches/methodologies that enable poor and vulnerable populations, especially women and girls, to get out of poverty through social economic transformation interventions.

One of the flagship programs has been the Village Saving and Loan (VSL) methodology which has now been recognized as an economic development driver in the National Financial Education Strategy.

A VSL group is a self-selected, voluntary group of approximately 20 to 30 members (75% female) that meet weekly to save through regular member contributions to a central fund.

With the approval of their peers, members borrow from the group fund to invest in small entreprises, repaying loans with interest and growing the fund.
