Alice, a refugee and single mother of four living in Nyabiheke Refugee Camp, initially depended on monthly cash assistance to survive but struggled with ongoing financial insecurity. Seeking a better future, she took a bold step into small-scale trading after repeatedly requesting an advance on her cash transfer, eventually starting with RWF 8,000 to sell basic food items. Her efforts grew stronger after joining World Vision’s Dukore Twigire program, where she received training in business skills, savings, and mindset change, helping her build confidence and financial discipline. Through saving, accessing a small loan, and reinvesting support capital, she expanded her business from a roadside stall to a full shop selling diverse household goods. Her monthly profit grew from about RWF 5,000 to at least RWF 50,000, enabling her to better support her family and shift from survival to long-term planning and self-reliance.
