Uwineza MARTHA | From Survival To Governance
Uwineza Martha is a survivor of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. During the genocide, she lost her entire family of 23 members, including her parents, siblings, relatives, and close friends. Left completely alone at a young age, she grew up without support, care, or a sense of belonging. She often reflects on her survival with uncertainty, questioning why she was spared while everyone around her was killed. This experience deeply shaped her early life and emotional state. Through this process, Martha experienced a profound transformation. From a place of isolation and emotional pain, she moved toward healing, acceptance, and active participation in her community. SEVOTA played a key role in shaping her journey. It not only provided a space for healing but also helped her rediscover her ability to relate to others and contribute meaningfully to society. Today, Martha is a leader in her community and serves as a member of a local decision-making committee. This is a role she never imagined for herself in the past. In addition, she leads a group of women who continue to meet regularly to support one another, recognizing that healing is an ongoing process. She has also rebuilt her personal life and is now a mother of four children. “When you want to do something good, it is possible, especially when you do it with others. No one can live alone.” Her journey reflects a clear transition from survival to leadership, demonstrating how community -based support can enable women not only to heal but also to take part in governance and decision -making.

Ubuntu.exe
Ce regard qui ne se retourne pas, qui avance sans se justifier. La technologie, dans sa logique froide, cherche l'optimisation. Elle réduit, classe, prédit. Mais il existe une intelligence que nul algorithme n'a encore su modéliser : l'intelligence intuitive, relationnelle, celle qui sait qu'un silence peut réparer ce qu'un mot a brisé, que le temps d'un deuil ne se compresse pas, que la valeur d'un être humain ne se calcule pas en données. Dans la pensée africaine traditionnelle, le concept d'ubuntu "je suis parce que nous sommes" pose l'humanité comme fondamentalement collective, fondamentalement ressentie. Ce profil de femme, au seuil du monde numérique, nous rappelle que la vraie révolution technologique ne sera pas celle qui remplacera l'humain, mais celle qui aura eu l'humilité d'apprendre de lui. D'elle. De ce qu'elle porte sans même avoir à le dire.

ADAM (SELF PORTRAIT)
Grief clings to him like a dark veil, clouding his thoughts, disturbing his mind. He wants to silence this endless star that shines within him, consuming him infinitely.
