Ruth Generation Foundation is a Christian voluntary organisation, set up as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in June 2019.
We work predominantly with Women and families by providing a unique mentoring programme for building strength, courage and character for life. We aim to address life challenges and struggles due to family breakdowns, marriage difficulties, single parenting, teenage pregnancies and children with challenging behaviours. We provide restorative programmes and empowerment workshops through teachings, mentoring, spiritual and practical support that will strengthen their spiritual, emotional and social life in order to fulfil life purpose especially in marriage and family life. We work in partnership with community organisations, statutory agencies, churches and voluntary organisations to support women with intensive mentoring.

We are passionate to support them with changes to:
-
Rebuild strength, confidence and courage;

-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
