Project Report | Feb 12, 2021
Meet Candide and Marie-Patience!

By Amelia Cheshire | Director of Development

Candide
Candide

"My name is Candide. I'm studying Civil Engineering at University of Rwanda, College of Science and Technology. My dream is to be a responsible, qualified engineer who serves and impacts my community!"

"Hello! My name is Marie-Patience. I am studying Information Technology at University of Rwanda. My dream is to contribute to the sustainable development of my country’s burgeoning Information, Communication & Technology (ICT) sector. I hope that university studies will equip me with theoretical and practical skills to contribute to my country's sustainable ICT sector development."

 

We want to share the dreams of these 2 women with you to highlight how our program is empowering women to break into male dominated fields like engineering and tech! We are so inspired by their dreams and we hope you are too!

To get to know Candide and Marie-Patience better, check out the links to their pages, which have biography and journey logs. 

We also shared our student's dreams throughout the month of December, so you can scroll through our social media feeds to catch up on those stories and dreams!
