Muhindo, one of Rudi International’s outstanding Rudi Education students, has turned obstacles into opportunities. Right after high school graduation, he was hired as a high school teacher for this school year, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Before getting his job as a teacher, Muhindo decided to broaden his skills by taking basic computer training at our Elimu Technology Centre, which he successfully completed. This strategic decision opened new doors for him in the rapidly expanding technological world.

Since his second year of primary school in 2012, Rudi International has played a vital role in Muhindo’s life. The organization offered him a scholarship to give him access to a quality education, providing him with academic tools and supporting him throughout his schooling. However, despite his efforts, Muhindo suffered a setback when he failed to pass the national state examination on the first attempt.

However, Rudi International has not abandoned Muhindo in his quest for success. The organization offered him a second chance by giving him the opportunity to retake his diploma. With determination and thanks to the support of Rudi International, Muhindo finally managed to obtain his diploma in the field of construction.

The degree in construction reinforced Muhindo’s dream of becoming an architect specializing in building and public works. Its ambition is to create innovative structures that will contribute to the development of his community and improve the lives of the people who live there.

Muhindo expresses his deep gratitude to Rudi International for their unwavering support. He acknowledges that few people are willing to sacrifice themselves to offer a scholarship and that without the help of the organization and its partners, he would not have been able to realize his potential.

After graduating from high school in 2023, Muhindo was recruited as a teacher of all technical courses at a local high school. He now shares his knowledge with students in grades 3 to 6, teaching subjects such as knowledge of materials, technology and sanitation.

Despite the challenges he faces, Muhindo is ready to face them with courage and determination. He plans to continue his university studies while continuing to teach. His mornings will be devoted to his university classes, while his afternoons will be dedicated to his new job as a teacher in his home school now.

Muhindo sees education as an opportunity not only to enrich his  own knowledge and prepare for new opportunities in the future, but also an opportunity to invest in the training of those who make up the future of his country. He firmly believes that there is a multitude of works and projects that can be done in life and that one should never stop learning and developing.

Muhindo’s success story is a living testament to the importance of education, perseverance and support in achieving individual dreams. His journey will undoubtedly inspire many other young people to pursue their goals despite the challenges they may face.

Rudi International would like to thank all the people and organizations who have stood by its side since 2012 and who have invested in the education of these children in eastern DRC. For this current school year (2023-2024), you can also participate by making a donation!
