Marie Clarisse Mfurayabo’s passion for women empowerment pushed her to start an organisation to support vulnerable teen mothers in her home district, Rwamagana.
She says she got the idea after learning that most teen mothers are victims of rape and defilement, and many of the men responsible flee, leaving the girls to care for themselves.
In 2019, 34-year-old Mfurayabo started Mfura Foundation, an organisation solely sponsored by herself and her family, which has reached over 100 teen mothers across Kigabiro Sector, and 40 are currently taking tailoring classes, among other ways to support themselves.
“In my life, I love helping, helping a woman in particular, because when a woman prospers, the family prospers, and the whole nation progresses,” Mfurayabo says.
“I got the idea to support teen mothers due to the life they live; a girl gives birth to her first child, then the second, is regularly involved in sexual activities, and even when she gets married, you find her lacking real values,” she explains.
