Programs: FONMAC is a non-governmental organization that conducts its activities on the whole territory of the republic of Rwanda. The organization is aimed at caring both children and women especially those in critical condition and poverty. We are nowadays focusing on helping children to get basic materials that can help them to keep studying.
We found that a hungry student drop out from school. We try to help poor learners to get food and initiate them to start small projects that will help them to be entrepreneurs at their young age.
We help mothers to join hands in cooperatives so that they can think together and uproot poverty in their societies. Strengthening women in their families is the key concept to develop families as they are the corner stone of the family. They are even the ones to give basic education to their children.
We have a big concern about environment where we plant a big number of fruits tress and vegetables in order to protect our environment and fight against malnutrition in our community. We find many solutions in planting fruit trees and vegetables especially protecting environment, fighting against malnutrition and being income generating activity.
Since this organization started its activities in our region, many changes happened especially in the lives of children main in education and women in their economic growth.
Rwanda is a country located in east Africa. It shows good speed in developing its all sectors. It have been a good experience to work with this organization which is highly committed in improving the welfare of citizen.
It had been long journey but together we realized it. We still have many things to do ahead but we hope to achieve all of them. The secret behind of all achievements is loving what we do and loving who we serve. We have not been tired any once! At each challenges we managed to boost strength within us and keep on going. This has been result of working together and encouraging each and other in our team.
I miss proper words to explain how FONMAC is so inspiring to me. From it, I learnt to serve community and work together others. It is a good community where young people can get skills about mentoring and helping others. I can rate this organization with 10 stars.

Rwanda as a country that came from far, a country that encountered difficulty period of genocide needed to be rebuilt by its own children, which is what FONMAC did, care for and support children and mothers helped to build a strong foundation, a hope for a bright future, and self esteem for Rwandan children.
We loved how Focus on mothers and children train women to become self reliant and mentor them to achieve their dreams. We appreciated much how this organization do a follow to its beneficiaries at a regular basis.
Focus on mothers and children has shown a big concern in changing the lives of women and children who are facing the problems relating to poverty. It gets involved in community activities to change the living style of poor citizens.
