I love kids very much and I am proud to be a mother.

As the last born in a family of 4, I thank the Lord that I was brought up in a Christian family in the cold province of Bururi, South of Burundi attending Sunday school. After primary school I came to Bujumbura for my secondary education and later trained as a primary school teacher. Having taught for 5yrs I left to joining Bible College for 3years.

At YFC I am in charge of Operation Hannah – a prayer movement for mothers based on 1 Samuel 1. This comes from a vision that Africa is being destroyed by poor leadership thus a call for mothers to give birth Spiritually (in prayer) to a new generation that will lead our continent – Africa. It involves praying for our own children/ young people in country at large.
