All committee members work as volunteers

Ciella Ininahazwe
Cofounder and treasurerCommunity outreach is one of the things that are close to my heart. This is why I am interested in Manna. I am grateful for having had the opportunity of doing my college education at Northwestern University in the USA. I am cognizant of the fact that other people sacrificed their time, energy and money for me to have a good education. I want to do the same for others.

Benit Cadeau Ngerageze
confounder and foundraiserMother Teresa once said that a small gesture coming from a place of love can make a big difference. This is how I try to live my life. I believe that my money becomes valuable when it has touched someone else’s life.

Romaine Dusabe
ManagerI am a widow and had to raise four children by myself. Funding my children’s education was one of the biggest challenges of my life. I am grateful that people have stepped in to give me a hand. This is why Manna’s mission resonates with my heart.

Christa Ishimwe
in charge of communicationI am interested in education. I believe that education is not only about giving knowledge, but also giving hope. I am happy to be part of the Manna Initiative because it gives me the opportunity of building hope in Burundi.
