Gukura exists to help end Human Trafficking in Rwanda
Fearless-Compassion is our website and also reflects our philosophy on helping people in need. Our company name is Gukura (goo - koo - rah), and means Grow in Kinyarwanda
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of The Gukura Corporation is to provide training, funding, and resources to churches in Rwanda that are committed to helping human trafficking victims. Our goal is to help reclaim the women and children of Rwanda who have been forced to sell their bodies as a means of survival, so they may live their lives for God’s purpose, sacrificing short term pain for long term gain. We want to show God’s amazing love by offering our own love, dedication, faith, and belief in the goodness of these women, who may have stumbled, but are ready to get back up.
