Career
In 1987, during Tanzania's socialist era, 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 teacher's training college. 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".
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 holds a Ph.D. in Community Development and Christian Education from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
Rwakatare established in 2006 the Bright Future Orphanage Centre for about 700 children with funding from Mikocheni B church members and international organizations. 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.
