In Rwanda, “Komera” means “be strong, have courage.” We created the Komera Project to assist girls in Rwanda who have the courage and desire to pursue secondary education, but who lack the resources to do so.

As girls continue their education, they improve their earning potential, their health and their sense of self-worth enabling them to break the bonds of poverty.

“You will never break the cycle of poverty or disease without educating girls. It won’t happen”
