In October 2018, Mama One Africa and her friends embarked on a life-changing journey to Rwanda. There, amidst the backdrop of the country's remarkable resilience after the 1994 Tutsi Genocide, they encountered Rich Hearts, a beacon of hope formed by young survivors.

 

Witnessing the transformative power of unity and compassion in the reconciliation village of Rweru left an indelible mark on Mama One Africa's heart. She saw not only the need for improved living conditions but also the potential for economic empowerment, especially among the resilient women who are the backbone of their households.

 

Driven by a deep sense of purpose, Mama One Africa returned in May 2019, forging a powerful partnership between One Africa and Rich Hearts. Together, they launched the Rweru Women’s Economic Empowerment and Human Values Initiative, a testament to the enduring spirit of solidarity.

 

Through relentless fundraising efforts, Mama One Africa secured essential resources and training for the women of Rweru. With sewing machines humming and classrooms buzzing, the seeds of empowerment were sown, promising a brighter future for generations to come.

 

But our journey is far from over. We now stand at the threshold of a new chapter, where the dream of a permanent learning and training center in Rweru awaits realization. Together, let us continue to write this story of resilience, empowerment, and hope, one chapter at a time. Join us as we build a brighter tomorrow, brick by brick, heart to heart.
