This is the story of a mother named Mujyirwanake Sorina. She is married and has six children.
Before Empower The Future found her at home, she was running a small illegal business along the road, locally known as Agataro. She was very poor, and on top of that, she was not on good terms with her husband, which led to one of her children running away to the streets.
Sometimes, when the market was not good and she had no food to feed her family, her neighbors would provide for them.
When Empower The Future Organization took her in, they brought her child back home from the streets, took her back to school, and covered her school fees and all scholastic requirements.
Before she started learning a skill through the life skills program, the organization first counseled her, offering words of comfort that motivated and gave her hope, showing her that she still had a chance to live a changed life. They also provided food to help her survive. Later, she was enrolled in the life skills program, where she learned skills like weaving, which has helped her become self-reliant.
Now, she is very happy because she uses her new skills to support herself.
She knows how to make rugs through weaving. Previously, it took her two months to complete one rug, but now she can finish one in just one week, which is a big improvement in her skills. She hopes that one day she can open her own business if she gets the capital.
