We envision Co-Kiyovu standing in the heart of Kigali as a pioneering space dedicated to women's leadership, economic empowerment, and cultural heritage. A transformative place where Rwandan women's remarkable journey of rebuilding a nation, leading innovation, and shaping a brighter future comes alive and inspires visitors from around the world. A hub where community, collaboration, and collective impact converge. We want Co-Kiyovu to serve as a model to inspire similar centers globally.

​

This project will be a hybrid of business and nonprofit:

• Co-Kiyovu, a Rwandan community benefit corporation (social enterprise), will ensure long-term financial sustainability through revenue-generating activities.

• Women GAIN Rwanda (our local NGO) will operate the leadership and skills training programs.

• Global GAIN (our US-based NGO) will support fundraising and international partnerships as well as be a shareholder of Co-Kiyovu.
