Arnaud Niyongabo is a native of Bujumbura, Burundi. He completed his undergraduate studies at Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), in the Faculty of Business Administration and Management. While at UMU, he was involved in various activities such as helping orphans from the university area and participating in sport competitions. After completing his undergraduate studies, he became a volunteer at Village Health Works (VHW), located in the rural area of Kigutu. Through his dedication to VHW, he realized how his country was affected by social and health inequities. He left the organization to work for a private hospital as a procurement manager in Bujumbura. Arnaud worked to sensitize people on the importance of social involvement by bringing food and providing advice to people from public hospitals who didn’t have access to food and social services. He enjoys travelling throughout the East African community in order to become aware of great achievements in surrounding countries and then finding a way to implement them in his own country.
