Will you help us open the doors to a space for all?
We are ready to launch programming in the Leadership Center to reach an estimated 29,000 people in our community in rural Rwanda with health education, vocational training, business development, and more.
Your ticket and sponsorship donation for this event will fund Komera Leadership Center programs!
In Rwanda, Komera means "be strong, have courage!"
Komera develops self-confident young women through education, community and health. 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. As a leadership incubator, we invest in inspired young women taking action towards self-empowerent. We create the space for shared experience, education & leadership training, and we use sport as a tool to empower and connect people around the world!
The doors are open.
Celebrate with us on September 8th!
We are thrilled to take you to Rwinkwavu, Rwanda on a virtual tour inside the Komera Leadership Center.
