🎥 From living in extreme poverty to a flourishing entrepreneur

Akayezu Florence was once a single mother of three living in extreme poverty. Her job in agriculture didn’t pay enough to provide her family with basic needs. She was food insecure, stressed, and looking for a better life for herself and her children.

Today, thanks to Village Enterprise’s Graduation Program, Akayezu and her partners, Alphontine and Clementine, are the owners of a successful small agricultural business.

Our team visited Akayezu’s village earlier this year, where she and her business partners were gracious enough to share their inspiring story and exciting plans for the future with us. Now, we are delighted to share their story with you and highlight the profound, real-world impact nonprofits like Village Enterprise make every day.
