CRS IN RWANDA
Rwanda is Africa’s most densely populated country. Approximately 80% of the labor force works in agriculture.
Rwanda has made substantial progress in stabilizing and rehabilitating its economy to levels seen before the 1994 genocide. Nonetheless, about 44% of the country lives below the poverty line.
CRS works to strengthen vulnerable households with programming that includes agriculture and food security, health and nutrition, economic strengthening and peacebuilding.
The Catholic Church is one of the longest standing institutions in Rwanda's modern history. The reach of the Church and its involvement in socio-economic and peacebuilding activities is substantial.
