About ADTS Rwanda
ADTS Rwanda is a locally-led non-governmental organisation working to protect children, strengthen families, and empower communities across Rwanda.
ADTS Rwanda works with vulnerable children, youth and families to create safer, healthier and more resilient communities. We focus on child protection, education, livelihoods, and community-based prevention of gender-based violence — always partnering with local leaders and organisations to build long-term local capacity.
Women's Empowerment
We prioritise programmes that support women and girls — economic inclusion, leadership development, gender-based violence prevention and access to education — because strong women mean stronger families and communities.
Values-Driven Service
We are guided by compassion and dignity. Our work is people-centered and seeks to protect the rights and wellbeing of every child and family we serve.
Community-Led
Programs are delivered with local partners and volunteers so that solutions are culturally appropriate, owned by communities, and sustained after external support ends.
Child & Family Focus
Our interventions prioritize children and their caregivers, strengthening families so children can flourish and contribute to their communities.
Our Approach
Women's Empowerment
We run focused programmes for women and girls — including gender-based violence prevention, leadership and livelihoods support, and education access — so women can lead change in their families and communities.
Child Protection & Safeguarding
We lead community-based child protection initiatives to prevent abuse, respond to incidents, and strengthen local safeguarding systems so children grow up safe and secure.
Education & Youth Empowerment
We support access to quality education, life skills and mentorship so young people can complete school, pursue livelihoods and become leaders in their communities.
Economic Strengthening
We provide livelihoods training, small enterprise support and savings groups to help families build resilient incomes and reduce vulnerability.
