Josué Niyomutabazi

Josué Niyomutabazi has a deep history of humanitarian work. In addition to being involved in the university genocide survivors organizations AERG and GAERG, he served as chapter governor of Seven United for the Needy, aiding street children and youth from low-income families. As an undergrad, he was one of few non-journalism majors selected as a journalist trainee at the university radio station (Radio Salus), where he led conversations on topics such as justice and gender. More recently, he was a project manager in Rwanda for the international volunteer-led organization, Renewed Memory. Josué’s interest in leadership led to his being voted in as youth representative to the National Youth Council and also as a member of Nyanza District Council, work he will continue while at L&C. His love of learning may take him to graduate school to study environmental law, where he hopes to combine economics and law to study and combat climate change. Josué completed his master’s in applied quantitative economics at the University of Rwanda this past November before arriving for the spring semester.
