Born and raised in Nyeri, Kenya, on January 23, 1980, Patricia Muthoni Zimmermann grew up amidst challenges that shaped her perspective on life. In March 2008, she moved to Switzerland, seeking a fresh start and vowing never to return to Kenya due to the difficulties she faced. However, time and experience altered her perspective, igniting a desire to give back to the very place she once felt disconnected from.
Patricia’s realization that true fulfillment comes from serving others led to the creation of REWA Home. Witnessing the struggles of women in her homeland, she saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between adversity and empowerment. This vision materialized into REWA Home—a sanctuary dedicated to equipping women with knowledge, skills, and the confidence to build sustainable livelihoods.
REWA Home believes that education is the foundation for change. To address the educational and economic barriers facing marginalized women, the organization has developed targeted programs that foster literacy, practical skills, and entrepreneurial acumen.
REWA Home extends its impact beyond education by fostering community dialogue through the Baraza, a Swahili term for a communal gathering space. This initiative encourages open discussions about societal challenges, solutions, and collective growth, ensuring that the empowerment of women translates into broader community development.
A dedicated team drives the mission of REWA Home:
Together, they work tirelessly to uplift women, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience.
With a vision to empower 200 women annually, REWA Home ensures that each training program accommodates 30 women per cohort, providing them with the necessary tools to build a better future. By instilling confidence and independence, the organization is not just transforming individual lives but also entire communities.
Sustainability is key to the success of REWA Home’s initiatives. The organization relies on private contributions, public and corporate donations, and sponsorships to fund its programs. Your support can make a tangible difference—whether through financial assistance, volunteering, or corporate partnerships.
