At Hagari, our hope is multidimensional. For the children of vulnerable families we hope to interrupt the cycle of poverty enough that they can break free. We do this by helping families send their children to school and supplementing their education with a focus on reading, sports, dance, trauma care, discipleship and a supportive community. For the parents or caregivers, we hope that those who are vulnerable to engaging in Survival Sex Work can find acceptance and dignity in their knowledge of God’s love for them, and that we can assist them in finding or creating alternative means of providing for their families, so that ultimately they can be released from the grip of poverty. Our approach varies from family to family, but we focus primarily on health, education, discipleship and financial empowerment. Ultimately, whether it be regarding their faith, their finances or any other area of their lives, our goal for every person we work with is KWIGIRA. Kwigira is a ikinyarwanda word that is used to describe someone who has been elevated to a point of being self-reliant, capable, empowered, even willing and able to help others on their journey. Hagari wants to see a change in families and communities that will long outlive the ministry itself. We believe that Kwigira is the key to change that will ripple through generations!
