RERA Rwanda

Raising Connected Families

Strengthening the support systems children need to thrive.

RERA Rwanda is a family-focused social enterprise dedicated to raising children who thrive emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually by strengthening families, caregiving, and family-friendly systems.

What we do 
our belief

Children thrive when mothers and fathers share the responsibilities of work and family.

About RERA

The earliest years lay the foundation for lifelong wellbeing

Too many children grow up without the consistent, nurturing care they need because the families raising them are not adequately supported.

Mothers, often the primary caregivers, carry the greatest share of caregiving while also pursuing education, employment, entrepreneurship, or career growth. Without the right support, many women face difficult trade-offs. This is not simply a women's issue — it is a child development issue, an economic issue, and a societal issue.

What we do

Three ways we strengthen the systems around a child


Strengthen Families

We equip parents to build nurturing, resilient families through parent coaching, family education, and couples programs.


Professionalize Caregiving

We train Parent Supporters to provide safe, nurturing, high-quality care for young children and become trusted partners to families.


Build Family-Friendly Systems

We partner with employers, policymakers, and communities so families thrive and women never have to choose between career and caregiving.

RERA Talks

Changing conversations. Strengthening families.

RERA Talks brings together parents, professionals, employers, policymakers, and community leaders to have honest conversations about parenting, caregiving, child development, family wellbeing, and the future of families.
