Today, gender bias continues to create huge barriers for many women. Ongoing struggles include ensuring equal economic opportunities, educational equity, and an end to gender-based violence.

We have transformed hundreds of lives through evidence-based programs that focus on expanding women’s economic opportunities, increasing women’s rights and security, and advancing women’s participation in all fields.

R&R Foundation and Charitable Trust practice an integrated approach that promotes gender equality across all programs.

Expanding Women’s Economic Opportunities

  • Expanded opportunities for women’s entrepreneurship, education, and employment.
  • Our projects expand opportunities for women through education, entrepreneurship, and vocational training. We provide women the knowledge and skills to earn an income and lift themselves and their families out of poverty, including through scholarships.
  • We work alongside local partners to provide women with vocational training to break into higher-paid employment sector.

Increasing Women’s Rights and Security

  • We work with individuals and communities to change attitudes and social norms that perpetuate gender-based violence and the exploitation of women and girls.
  • Our broad engagement uniquely positions us to respond with locally rooted, gender-sensitive, and durable strategies to enhance prevention, prosecution, and protection measures.
