• 2008: FWA’s 3-day trauma healing workshop 
aims to reduce the impact and effects of trauma experienced by the women of four communes (Nyarurambi, Gitega, Mutaho and Kamenge) through training, counseling and the provision of small grants for income-generating activities. The goal of the project is to reduce the impact of traumatic experiences and to reinforce the peace process.
Following the training and counseling of FWA’s patients, FWA established support groups in each commune and enabled the women to set up income generation projects with a modest capital fund. Each support group identified for itself the most appropriate way of using their grant and agreed to meet regularly to continue supporting each other, reinforcing their learning and contributing towards the income-generating scheme.
One year after the start of this project, all support groups continued to meet on regular basis, apart for the Kamenge groups, who had not met effectively since the training.
• 2011: FWA organized 3-day advanced trauma healing 
workshops in the same communes, i.e. Nyarurambi, Gitega, Mutaho and Kamenge with 9 groups of new beneficiaries and groups of the same groups of women from the 2008 workshops.
Preceding the event, a baseline was conducted to assess if beneficiaries were still presenting trauma symptoms and if the first workshops made any improvements in their lives.
The objectives of the workshop are to help participants improve their coping mechanisms for continuous and traumatic stress and improve family relationships, day-to-day functioning, and promote peace and community reconciliation.
Small funds were also distributed to different groups of women to reinforce income generating projects already in place up country (Nyarurambi, Gitega and Mutaho). Due to past challenges experienced by women in Kamenge to agree on appropriate ways of use of given money, FWA’s social worker assisted in designing income-generating schemes for the different groups.
