From Correctional Facilities to Communities: Empowering Rehabilitation and Reintegration in Rwanda (CFC).

From Correctional Facilities to Communities: Empowering the Social Rehabilitation & Reintegration Process of Current and Former Released Inmates in Rwanda is a two-year initiative (January 2026–December 2027) implemented by Prison Fellowship Rwanda in partnership with the Commission Episcopale Justice et Paix (CEJP) and supported by Hope Bearer Foundation (Hoffnungsträger, Germany).

The project is being implemented in eight correctional facilities across Rwanda Ngoma, Rusizi, Gicumbi, Nyamagabe, Huye, Musanze, Muhanga, and Bugesera and seeks to strengthen the rehabilitation and successful reintegration of current and former inmates through improved psychosocial well-being, civic responsibility, community support, and economic self-reliance.

Through community healing initiatives, mental health awareness campaigns, reintegration dialogues, vocational skills training, and programs that strengthen family and community connections, The project also promotes collaboration among correctional authorities, government institutions, local leaders, civil society organizations, genocide survivors, families, and community members to create a supportive environment for successful reintegration. By fostering personal transformation, social cohesion, and sustainable livelihoods, the initiative contributes to building safer, more inclusive, and resilient communities across Rwanda.
