Strong Rwandan Women and Other Stories

Under the mango tree: Resilience, Motherhood, and Self Reclaiming

BCM

In the heart of Muhanga, Esperance gathers women beneath a mango tree — a space she’s turned into a circle of honesty, healing, and strength. Once afraid to speak about her struggles, she now leads conversations that mend silence and spark change. Her story isn’t loud, but it’s powerful — a reminder that transformation often begins in the most ordinary places, with women who choose to rise and bring others with them.
