Ep. 17-Aisha Haguma: Focus on Your Dream
Growing up, Aisha Haguma had to do a lot of fending for herself. She lost her parents in the Rwanda genocide, and lived with her aunt and extended family.
Yet that experience gave her the strength and courage to be independent. She’s grown into an entrepreneur as the owner of a supermarket, Alimentation Le Panier. The spark for beginning her own journey to entrepreneurship was trips to Dubai, where she was enamored with the clothing and began to sell items that she purchased on the journey there. After this taste of success, she launched her own supermarket, growing the store’s inventory and adding a bakery and butcher. Talking to customers and continually asking how her store can serve them creates a personal touch and sense of connection to the community.
She credits the Peace Through Business program as being another source of motivation and practical strategies for improving her business strategy. Much of her support also comes from her husband, who fully backs her business goals and independence. Haguma also shares thoughts on work-life balance and why she works at home when her children aren’t in school to better spend time with them. In total, her strong Christian faith and desire to make things happen instead of waiting for them continues to drive her forward. She believes that women can have a bright future in Rwanda, and she wants to be an example and mentor.
