Vanessa Ntakirutimana, 28, with her 9 year old daughter in their courtyard next to their house in a village with no road access. Vanessa Ntakirutimana gets emotional while her neighbours and sister visit her inside her home.
She says: “Usually, I am a strong woman. It’s only when I remember this time of my life that I get very emotional.”
“We sometimes talk about the past, my sister and I. But we don’t spend much time talking about it. We use our time together to talk about constructive things. We don’t get lost in the past but talk about how our lives are evolving.”
