Komera Inc.
Self-confidence, one girl at a time
In Rwanda, Komera means “be strong, have courage.” At Komera, we believe that young women have the right to lead change in their community, to experience the joy of self-discovery and to realize their potential. Komera has been working in the Kayonza district of Rwanda for a decade - implementing education, community development and sport for health programming to thousands of young women, youth and families since our start in 2009. In 2022, Komera directly supported 224 young women with educational programming, including secondary school, vocational training, and University scholarships, with a 100% secondary school graduation rate and 67 scholars now in University. Komera acknowledges that education alone is not enough to develop self-confident young women, that we also must provide a support system for young women to reach their potential. Komera's holistic model includes leadership training, mentorship, health & wellness, career guidance and family support to create an ideal environment for young women and their communities to thrive. The Komera businesses employ 100 community members, and impact over 2,500 families annually.
