The Ruth Project
From Gleaning to Hope
Omega Global Development is honored to partner with Livelong in Goal (LIGO) through Goshen Missions Rwanda to support community-centered initiatives in Cyeru Sector, Burera District. The Ruth Project empowers vulnerable women through faith, skills, and community. Many of the women served are widows, single mothers, mothers living in extreme poverty, and women who survive by collecting leftover crops after harvest. Like Ruth in Scripture, these women are not looking for charity alone; they are looking for opportunity, dignity, and a pathway toward a stronger future.
What We Do
Through fellowship meals, hands-on skills training, savings groups, discipleship, counseling, and cooperative development, The Ruth Project helps women move from survival to self-reliance.
Participants receive practical training in areas such as basket making, handcraft production, soap making, liquid detergent production, tailoring basics, and reusable sanitary pad production. The goal is to help each woman gain at least one marketable skill, begin generating income, and grow in confidence, faith, and community support.
This initiative begins with 15 vulnerable women and carries a long-term vision of developing a women’s production group and eventually establishing the Ruth Women’s Centre.
