Nadine Umutoni’s (top right) vision for Neza is bigger than beans in bags. She’s integrated a social enterprise component by donating 10 per cent of proceeds to Groupe des Ancients Etudiants Rescapees du Genocide (GAERG), an organization that helped her when she was growing up.
"I have always wanted to find a way to help my community because of the trauma we went through," Umutoni says. "It has made a lot of damage and now, [nearly] 27 years later, we need help. We're starting to create our families and I see so much trauma being passed on to the next generation."
