Career
In the mid-1990s, after Tanzania's transition to a multi-party democracy, Rwakatare founded the St. Mary's school group, multiple schools ranging from nursery to primary schools, high schools (such as St Mary's Mbeya Secondary School) and a teachers' training college.[2] The curriculum, based on the Tanzania National Curriculum, without explicit religious content, takes an international focus with a mission of preparing "children academically and spiritually".[3]
In 1995 Rwakatare founded the Mikocheni B Assemblies of God. Prior to that she worked as a personnel manager for the port authority of Dar es Salaam. She held a Ph.D. in Community Development and Christian Education from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.[4][5]
Rwakatare established in 2006 the Bright Future Orphanage Centre for about 700 children with funding from Mikocheni B church members and international organizations.[5] The orphanage centre has evolved into a grant giving philanthropic body, the St. Mary's Foundation, focusing on the identifying sustainable local solutions to community malaise.[6]
Rwakatare died in Dar es Salaam on 20 April 2020, aged 69 from COVID-19.[7] She was married.[8][9]
