Living in exile, Mukakarangwa Sarah was 15 when she was obligated to get married to a 28 year-old. After returning to Rwanda, Sarah found that her native country faced serious threats to its security and stability like ethnic political groups and divided ethnic populations. Sarah's life was further complicated by her in-laws' attempts to force her husband to remarry within his ethnic group and later her husband's death just weeks before Ntamigemo Elias' birth. Having survived the genocide she relies on her love for her children and her hopes for unity and reconciliation to keep her going.
“Let us forget about Hutus and Tutsis and Twas. We are all the creation of God and if we start to see ourselves that way, our country will become peaceful.” Mukakarangwa Sarah
"I have heard so many elders saying that the future of this nation lies in the hands of the youth and that we are the hope of tomorrow. But I see no hope in the future if parents continue to spread divisionism to their children." Ntamigemo Elias
