The Faces of 
Forgiveness

In the aftermath of the devastating 1994 Tutsi Genocide, the resilient women of Rweru refuse to be defined by tragedy. United by a shared determination to rebuild their shattered lives, they embark on a journey of forgiveness, hope, and empowerment.

 

With profound grief and loss etched into their past, these women stand poised to stitch together a brighter future for their families and community. Armed with resilience and a relentless spirit, they seek to learn new skills that will transform them into entrepreneurs, laying the foundation for robust communities and rekindling cultural ties that endure.

 

Across Africa and beyond, women empowerment initiatives have catalyzed remarkable transformations, creating hundreds of jobs and elevating incomes for countless women. These successes have not only provided vital economic opportunities but have also empowered women to become primary breadwinners, reshaping familial dynamics and fostering greater independence.

 

Yet, despite these strides, Rwanda stands at the precipice of even greater opportunities for women's economic advancement. As we look ahead, let us seize the chance to create sustainable pathways to entrepreneurship and economic prosperity for the women of Rwanda, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey towards a brighter, more equitable future.

Building Project

Due to the success of Phase One of our program, we have outgrown the one room facility our women were initially trained in.  We previously raised enough funds to purchase land to build a permanent, fully operational institute, that will serve as the future Training, Agricultural and Childcare Center.  We are now asking for your assistance to raise additional funds to make our facility a reality.   We kindly seek donations of any amount to help fund the construction of our new learning center.

 

 In unity all things are possible!
