Leadership Mentorship makes a difference
Story 1
Gisagara, the district with a miserable background of poverty, grass-thatched houses, people with dirty infected feet diseases, etc. the district was lagging behind in development ! You may not think that this district has become an example of what is possible (Urugero rw’ Ibishoboka) ; now Gisagara is well positioned to achieve human security imhigo and the district is ranked 2nd over 30 districts to achieve Imihigo of Mutima w’ urugo with 97.4% marks.
What brought us this far ? Our partnership with stakeholders including PFTH continues to support women and girls’ empowerment in all domains such as social, economic, and political : Therefore, women should stay at the forefront of this development journey and you are the one to champion this commitment. “Said Gisagara’s Vice Mayor FED Mr. Jean Paul Habineza”.
Story 2

Foibe from Nyamagabe district is a widow with 4 children ; was a woman with no confidence, always afraid to speak in public thinking how people would judge her words, and behaves as a vulnerable woman with limited time due to the house chores associated with raising all those children to grow up and provide them with their needs ; honestly, she was burdened and victimized.
Then, you cannot understand how the LMP left her with a transformed mindset and vision ; The lessons I was given included effective management of triple roles, time management, and public speaking, and they have changed the old me into a new me.
Now in the decision-making bodies that I am in, I am productive, and results are observed. Now the responsibilities of the household do not interfere with the responsibilities of the leadership.” Foibe, the Mentee
Story 3

I don’t lie to you, I felt it was not appropriate for me to be trained to become a good and strong leader ; so that I will stand in front of the people without higher education ! I dropped out of school when I reached the 5th grade.
With the support of my mentor ; I immediately took the first step and registered to go back to school, I did the final exam for high school as a private candidate, and I am continuing until I finish the university. This was an inspiration I got from this mentorship program and for sure it will lead my education dreams to reality. Said Esperance, the LMP mentee from the Nyamagabe district.
Esperance has a commitment to mentoring high school graduates whom she will meet at Urugerero specifically on LAPS.
Story 4

My name is Virginie ; the reason why I am stretching my arms is because of the joy I have received from the PFTH leadership mentorship program. The Leadership Mentorship program does not leave me strong only politically but also economically ;
Me, you are seeing before you, I was never known to wear kitenge on my own, I was always depending on my husband, but today things have changed, look at me how I am smart ; This dress you see me wearing, I bought it personally through the job I created since I met my mentor, truly may the Lord bless PFTH.
Story 5

The theory of change of GEWEP is about bringing the change on specific three broad domains of change such as building agency, balance relations, and transforming structures !
This Village leader woman is called Vestine ; from Nyaruguru district, when we were at the LMP graduation event, she made us interested to hear how LMP has transformed her into a good leader, and it took another step towards her husband’s transformation through the couple training on gender equality and GBV prevention they both received from PFTH.
Today, my spouse supports me in my daily duties as a village leader and he escorts me in the night to monitor the local security patrol and other help in community mobilizations through coaching LAPS in VSLAs, Inteko z’ abaturage, etc.
this gives good results because the change we want, has started from me to my household and now it is reaching our place of residence (community) ;” said Vestine, village leader, the mentee in LMP”
Story 6

Rose is one of the selected girls in the program of leadership mentorship cohort 3, from Nyaruguru district ;
I’m proud of the effort I am applying due to this leadership mentorship program, of being able to advise families who are in conflict so that they can live in harmony through the collaboration of champions in their daily collective actions. It is a good experience for me to be able to help married people even though I am still single, and it is one of the best measures to fight against the cultural norms that are still governing our society : “Testimony from Rose”
