Rwanda: How 21-Year-Old Umuhoza Plans to Fight Climate Change
Grace Ineza Umuhoza, a third year student at University of Rwanda, wants to make a difference in society and is already devising initiatives on how to accomplish this.
As soon as she completed high school, Umuhoza launched 'Baby an Angel', a project that is designed to offer home services for babies and provide working opportunities for girls.
The 21-year-old designed it after conducting research on new mothers and found out that 'they do not have adequate home keeping services and that they are also worried at work because they do not trust the people that they leave their kids with'.
"Also, minor research I did in 2016 showed that girls graduating in hospitality and hotel management did not have jobs because they do not know where to turn to. I thought of a sustainable and reliable project that can connect the two parties and create an open platform for the youth and help working parents feel better at work," she says.
