Francoise, a 34-year-old mother of four from Rusizi, transformed her life from a struggling rural farmer into a successful entrepreneur through the support of World Vision Rwanda’s CORE Project, funded by SIDA. Once without savings or business knowledge, she joined a savings group, expanded her farming, and co-founded the “Berwa Munyarwanda” Cooperative, which launched a thriving wedding hall and catering business. With increased income, she also opened a grocery shop and recently took her first trip to Kigali for a business trip, showcasing her remarkable journey from poverty to prosperity. Francoise now serves as a powerful role model, proving that with the right tools and determination, real changes are possible.
