Harmony Consolidator Foundation
Harmony Consolidator Foundation is a newly founded woman-founded and women-led common-benefit foundation based in Kigali - Rwanda.
Harmony Consolidator Foundation was created by a rwandese woman who herself has been a victim of the atrocities that Rwanda went through that culminated into the geocide against Tutsis in 1994 and is a witness to existing cultural and social barriers that prevent women from achieving their full potential.
Both Children and women are perceived by many as men's personal properties which make the latter entitled to subjecting their perceived personal possessions, i.e. women and children to all sorts of abuses.
Thousands of defenseless children in Rwanda are defiled sexually, abused verbally and physically while others run away from their homes fleeing constant parental conflicts, physical and emotional abuses and therefore dropping out of schools.
Teenage pregnancies and suicide rates among youths are on the rise in Rwanda due to parental neglect, weak child protection services and constant marital conflicts.
Employment in the informal sector of Rwanda is excluded from legal coverage and millions of women and youths employed in the informal sector including households, family businesses and construction sites lack social protection, are left to the whims of their employers and are subjected to so many unreported abuses.
Harmony Consolidator Foundation was created to promote harmony in the communities, families and workplaces through promotion of SOCIAL JUSTICE, POSITIVE AND HEALTHY PARENTING, CHILDREN'S RIGHTS and ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF THE MOST VULNERABLE especially less educated/uneducated WOMEN AND YOUTHS.

Fighting Child Defilement in Rwanda - Kicukiro District
Teenage pregnancies and child defilement cases in the Capital City of Rwanda is on the rise. The Statistical Analysis Report on Child Defilement issued in October 2021 by Rwanda Investigation Bureau ranks Kigali on top of rwandan provinces with higher child defilement cases and the same report shows that the no.1 risk factor that contributes to increasing child defilement cases is NEGLECTFUL PARENTAL SUPERVISION. Parents spend most of their time at work and deprive their children of quality time with them. Children living in the slums of Kicukiro District grow in a very unhealthy environment surrounded by drug addicts, prostitutes, alcoholics, criminals, etc. and the majority of parents raising their children in the slums of Kicukiro are single mothers. This project entitled EMBRACING MOTHERHOOD IN RWANDA - KICUKIRO DISTRICT seeks to promote responsible parenthood and healthy parenting among mothers living in the slums of Kicukiro District in Rwanda through a training that is targeting 1,000 mothers and village leaders from the village level to the district level by encouraging mothers living in the slums to protect their children from abuses and responsibly embracing their motherhood. The present project shall involve two major activities - a training on children protection rights, emotional and mental needs of children, poor parenting styles and their negative effects on children, healthy and positive parenting approaches and their benefits on both mothers and children, how to manage marital conflicts and how marital conflicts hinder the mental, emotional and physical development of children - supporting vulnerable 200 single mother headed households with community health care. The duration of the present project is six months and its total cost is estimated at forty-one thousand US Dollars or $41,000. Your donations are highly needed for the successful execution of the present project regardless of their size. Please help us create a healthy environment for rwandan children to grow and fulfil all their full potential, free from sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuses. Let's work together to create A BETTER, SAFER AND HEALTHY WORLD for rwandan children to live and grow happily.

Promoting Social Cohesion in RWANDA - Kicukiro District
RWANDA has experienced atrocities and terrible human rights violations that culminated into the worst - the 1994 genocide against Tutsis. Ethnicity based politics, policies and propaganda were promoted to divide Rwanda and destroy social cohesion as well as the national identity. The government of Rwanda has put in place different policies to promote national unity among rwandese. However, ethnicity-based hatred is continually being noticed among rwandese from all walks of life, young - middle aged, rich, poor, educated and uneducated as well as senior citizens. Various bodies of research show that ethnicity-based hatred and distrust is passed down from parents to their children through family talks and conversations held at home. Given the fact that mothers are the ones that spent most time with their young children and therefore have more influences on the lives, mindsets and beliefs of their young ones, the present project BA UMUBYEYI UBEREYE U RWANDA seeks to raise awareness of mothers in Kicukiro District of their role in promoting national unity, social cohesion and national identity among their young children and encourage them to teach their children to proudly embrace their national identity and jealously fight genocide ideology in Rwanda. Activities involved in the present project include a one - day training of 1,000 local female community leaders from the village level to the district level and the duration of the present project is 180 days while the total cost for the present project is estimated at fifteen thousand US Dollar or $15,000. Your donations will help build long-term peace and stability in a country that was torn by ethnicity based conflicts and raise a generation of united and courageous youth and future leaders.
