Kwizera Award Honorees 2019
In Rwanda, the word Kwizera means "hope."
At its core, Komera seeks to provide hope to young Rwandan women who need it most. This task is not ours alone, but relies on a broader community who provide us and the people we serve with hope. Hope for a better future, hope for young women, and hope that as our world flourishes we will continue to take care of one another.
In recognition of such, we have decided to annually honor one such person or persons with the Komera Kwizera Award. Kwizera honorees show a unique and special commitment to Komera. They are our people, our family and inspire our work.
