 About Me |
I am Rwandan by Nationality. My work is based in Huye district of Rwanda, and since the events of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, large resettlement has entered into the community causing massive unrest. High population density, demographic imbalance, severe economic hardship and deteriorating health and living standards are hindering plans to rebuild mentally, physically and structurally.
Diseases like HIV/ AIDS, malaria and diarrhoea are common.
Overall this affects the survival rate among children and other problems like alarming education and illiteracy levels and gender imbalances. A large proportion of the population is made up of widows and orphans – commonly called “street boys” or “street girls” whose families are unable to take care of them.
I am currently the Coordinator of Rwanda Village Concept Project (www.rwanda-vcp.org) a non governmental student run organisation that is striving to tackle these issues by improving the health and the living standards through increased self reliance and responsibility.
I am also a medical student (alum’ 2009) at National University of Rwanda
I am an Action Partner with Oxfam international Youth partnership 2007-2010 and I am working to alleviate poverty in my community, empower women, fight against HIV/AIDS and other epidemics and easy access to health and education.
I am also working with Let the Little Children Come to Me Orphan Center to support Children that have been affected/infected by HIV/AIDS and orphans of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide.
In 2007, I received the Medical student price by the Royal College of Paeditrics and Child health.
