Charles graduated from the Universite Libre de Kigali and — in addition to graduating early by completing his thesis paper in two months instead of the usual six months — he also obtained the mark of distinction for his paper, which focused on the decentralization of government functions in Rwanda. Charles has worked in local government throughout his time at university and he is now the Personal Assistant to the Mayor of Kicukiro, which is one of Kigali’s districts.
In his spare time, Charles is the head coach of the APR Women’s Volleyball team. Charles is a former president of ORI’s Student Government Association and he has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills throughout his university education. We are extremely proud of Charles and congratulate him on his exceptional accomplishments. View all Recent Updates »
