EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR
Richard NDUWAYEZU
I am a 5th year medical student at University of Rwanda. I first heard about RVCP in secondary school when I was vice-president of my school’s Anti-AIDS club. I attended a Pyramid teaching session and workshop and have been interested ever since. When I joined medical school in 2011, I started attending general assemblies every Friday even though I hadn’t yet been selected. I was recruited into the HIV program and got actively involved in teaching sessions. I was surprised and inspired by the ideas of the youth, which led me to become Director of the program in 2013. In summer 2013, I worked with volunteers from our partner BVDA on a baseline report. We evaluated RVCP programs by conducting surveys and questionnaires, which proved very useful and valuable both for me as an individual and for RVCP as an organisation. I finally became the RVCP coordinator this year. I am very committed to improve RVCP’s efficiency in delivering its amazing activities for the communities we work for.
We do not develop the community; we help the community to develop itself.

VICE-COORDINATOR
Eric RUCOGOZA
In late 2011, when I started university, a friend of mine told me about RVCP and I became interested. It was in early 2012 at the final of competitions between HIV/AIDS clubs at Gisagara that I participated in RVCP activities for the first time. The day was so wonderful that I decided to get more involved and from that day participated actively, especially in the Pyramid program. I am now the vice-coordinator after having acted as Pyramid Director last year. I am excited to take on this position of responsibility and help RVCP to grow even stronger.

RVCP has been an amazing part of my university experience. I worked as a volunteer in 2012 and very much enjoyed going to HIV teaching sessions.

This year I'm very happy to be a rotation officer for RVCP.

We are not only excited to be part of RVCP but also grateful, we are looking forward to build our community and take RVCP further.

PROGRAM DIRECTORS
MALARIA PREVENTION DIRECTOR
Eric UWASE
I first heard about RVCP in 2012 and was immediately interested. After listening to inspiring accounts of activities that volunteers participate in, I decided to join. For me, nothing is better than improving the lives and living conditions of underprivileged communities. Personally, I have gained valuable life experience and am so proud to have been a part of RVCP. The organisation is progressing well in serving vulnerable people through their partners and I look forward to the upcoming year.

HYGIENE, WATER & SANITATION DIRECTOR
Jean De La Croix NIYONZIMA
I have been a member of RVCP since 2012 and am proud to have been elected as director for the Hygiene programme this year. Gaining knowledge outside of school and university is very important because you can’t apply the knowledge you learn in school without having life experiences to apply it to. RVCP has given me these valuable life experiences, as I have learnt about the target groups we work with and seen how they become more self-sufficient. These indirect benefits for RVCP’s members are one of the reasons I joined – to further leadership, teaching and communication skills.

GENDER EMPOWERMENT (PYRAMID) DIRECTOR

I am a fourth year Pharmacy student. RVCP is an excellent opportunity for Rwandan youth to serve their communities through different activities requiring application of what they study.

Combined experience and skills will lead to the success of PYRAMID Program.
Let us all be powerful agents of change and we shall see Rwanda moving forward.

INCOME GENERATION DIRECTOR
M.Florentine HATEGEKIMANA
I am a medical student in my third year and I got involved in RVCP since January 2013. I enjoy moments in RVCP because I get the opportunity to approach and serve the community throughout community works, teaching sessions and follow up of projects proposed for some targets groups. This makes me aware of how people are living in their villages and I learn how a little money available can help generating income that increases people’s standards of living. I look forwards to working and serving more the community I belong to, through RVCP.

I am a fourth year student in the Civil Engineering Department. I first got involved with RVCP in my 2nd year of university, when I volunteered in the Initiative program.

Since I realized how important RVCP activities are to the community, I have been working very hard on projects. I became the head of initiatives program for this year. Volunteering with RVCP has truly been the best experience of my life.
