Bio

Passion and Youth are two things I love putting in the same sentence since they radiate energy. Having a background in IT and experience in working with communities all over East Africa, I have had a chance to meet the most inspiring change makers in the region. Inspiration is important for a youthful population as is one in Rwanda at the moment. Working with developers, strategic managers, educators, designers has given me a wonderful chance to see the world without boundaries. Computer Science Background in Education, Social Projects Management, Talent Management and Branding are the areas I have garnered my life's purpose. Being here is a chance for me to inspire a soul.

I'm passionate about

My passion in the people in developing nations. I would sacrifice everything to create the best education for todays generation and a sustainable living environment.

An idea worth spreading

My passion is nothing without my action. Africa has a problem with an education system that takes plenty of time with a frustrated graduate in the end. There should be an intensive education in the early years that promotes talent more than traditional expectations in our system. Our development does not come from the handouts of our donors but from the devotion we put in our own land. Billions of Dollars worth of grants and donations is like laying paint over a crumbling wall with old paint. There is a difference yes but it is not the ultimate solution. I have the passion and am now acting. As big as Africa is I know given time we shall have enough change agents.
