Her Own Two Feet is the true story of Rebeka Uwitonze, a Rwanda girl who lives with her family, one brother and many sisters. Her story is unique, Rebeka is born with curled and twisted feet. She learns to walk on the top of her feet, but knows that as she grows heavier, that will no longer be an option.

Then a life changing opportunity presents itself: a doctor in the United States offers to turn her feet, with a hospital paying her bills and an American family hosting her. At nine years old, will she be able to accept knowing she must leave her family and all she knows and loves behind?
This moving and inspirational story, Rebeka shows us what true bravery looks like.
