Women make up 87% of Duterimbere IMF’s workforce, a contribution recognised as central to the institution’s growth and success.
Speaking during the celebrations on Sunday, March 8, CEO Ngabonziza Alphonse said the institution’s goal is to elevate women and praised the pivotal role they play in driving the organisation’s growth and success.
“The majority of our Board members are women. We sincerely appreciate their dedication and the key role they play in decision-making, which enables our institution to advance steadily every day,” the CEO stated.
Uwimbabazi Hélène, Chairperson of the Board, highlighted the far-reaching impact of women, not only in the workplace but also in strengthening families and contributing to national development.
“Women are the heart of the home, and when they build strong families, it benefits the entire nation. There was a time when women were denied the right to work, own property, or participate in leadership and politics. Today, celebrating this day is a recognition of the progress we have made,” she remarked.
Mutamuriza Anitha, who has worked at Duterimbere IMF for the last 15 years, shared her personal journey of successfully balancing family responsibilities with a thriving professional career.
“I started working here with three young children. Despite the challenges, I was able to manage my home and deliver at work because I had a clear plan. Confidence and capability are key for women to reach their potential,” she said.
Duterimbere IMF Plc is a microfinance institution dedicated to empowering women by providing financial services, including short-term loans, to help them grow and improve their livelihoods.
