Seraphine and Fulgence, a couple from Nyamasheke near Lake Kivu, endured over 21 years of poverty and hopelessness, raising six children with limited resources and a negative mindset. Their lives began to change two years ago when they joined World Vision’s Empowered Worldview (EWV) training—a faith-based program focused on mindset transformation and self-belief. Through the training, they realized their potential and received a $90 startup capital. With it, they rented land and began growing sugarcane. Their first harvest earned them $210, and they expect about $420 from their second. This new income allows them to provide for their children’s needs, strengthen their marriage, and dream about the future.
