Komera

MISSION: In Rwanda, "Komera" means "be strong, have courage."Komera builds confident young women through education, community and sport.

We created Komera, in rural Rwanda to assist girls who have the courage and desire to pursue secondary education, but who lack the resources to do so.

VISION: We believe if Komera fulfills its mission, young women in Rwanda will have the confidence to lead positive social change in their community, experience the joy of self discovery, and realize their own personal potential.

As a leadership incubator, we invest in inspired young women taking action towards self empowerment. We create the space for shared experience, education, and leadership training, and we use sport as a tool to empower and connect people around the world.
