2. Prison Rehabilitation and Reintegration readiness<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Rwanda continues to carry the legacy of mass incarceration following the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Many incarcerated individuals face spiritual emptiness, psychological and emotional trauma, family rejection, hopelessness, and limited access to healthcare and education.<\/p>

GNPDR supports incarcerated persons and their families through:<\/strong><\/p>

\u2714 Trauma healing and psychosocial support
\u2714 Spiritual care and Bible engagement
\u2714 Life skills and vocational training
\u2714 Reintegration preparation
\u2714 Palliative care support for seriously ill and elderly inmates
\u2714 Victim-offender mediation and reconciliation initiatives<\/p>

Our goal is to restore hope and dignity, reduce recidivism, and promote successful reintegration into society and social cohesion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Healthcare and Palliative Care<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for vulnerable populations, including incarcerated individuals, widows, children, and persons living in poverty.<\/p>

GNPDR\u2019s healthcare interventions focus on:<\/strong><\/p>

\u2714 Palliative care support for incarcerated individuals
\u2714 Community-based health education

\u2714 Children affected by parental incarceration
\u2714 Youth with disabilities
