Mission & Vision

“Tubahumurize” is a Kinyarwanda word that roughly translates to “Let us console and give them hope.”

(You an learn how to pronounce this meaningful name here.)

Mission

To support and empower female victims of violence and marginalization living in Rwanda by offering essential services such as trauma counselling, coping education, vocational trainings, and opportunities to achieve economic independence.

Vision

At Tubahumurize, we believe in a world in which Rwandan Women Can! We will not rest until:

  • All Rwandan women are safe, healthy, socially integrated, and economically empowered
  • Societal cycles of gender-based violence are broken
  • The voices of Rwandan women and children are encouraged rather than repressed
