Grease Mpinganzima, Cosmetics Retail
NAME: Grease Mpinganzima
COUNTRY: Rwanda
BUSINESS: Neja Cosmetics
Grease, 50 years old, took over the family business, Neja Cosmetics, about two years ago. However, the business has been in operation since 1994.
Neja Cosmetics imports and sells cosmetics, such as skin care products, soaps, hair products and fragrances. Grease sells her supplies to both individuals and salons.
Currently, Neja Cosmetics has three shops and 14 employees. Grease’s future goals include not only selling her customers products, but also spa-like services, such as massages, manicures, pedicures and facials.
By attending PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS, Grease hopes to improve upon her management skills in the areas of business, accounting, marketing and sales.

Grease says that surviving the genocide of 1994 has given her the strength to
go on with her life, and though she remembers feeling as though she had no future right after the horrific tragedy, she knew that her second chance had a meaning.
“We must fight for what is ours and never give up.”
