Mothers who mean business.

MAMA RWANDA is the story of two women mixing the wit of motherhood with the spirit of entrepreneurship to overcome extreme poverty.

A modern tale of the work/life balancing act, MAMA RWANDA illuminates the remarkable lives of two working mothers in the developing world.
