Our Mission
To design and implement community-driven programmes that improve access to education, economic opportunity, and sustainable livelihoods for marginalized women and youth while strengthening local capacity for long-term development.
Our Vision
Communities where women and young people have the skills, resources, and opportunities required to thrive socially and economically.
Areas of Focus
RYC implements integrated programmes that address the root causes of poverty through access to education, women’s economic empowerment, community resilience, and evidence-based local development initiatives.
Education
We improve access to quality learning by supporting school infrastructure, strengthening foundational education, and delivering digital literacy training. RYC has supported the establishment of a school currently serving 85 learners and conducted a baseline education assessment to guide targeted interventions.
Women Empowerment
We strengthen women’s economic independence through entrepreneurship and skills training. RYC partnered with TECBO to train women in yoghurt production and convened 30 Somali women for a gender-based violence prevention dialogue in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
Sustainability
We support sustainable community development through practical interventions such as the construction of a borehole in Rhamu now serving up to 70 households, improving water access and household resilience.
