Meto is thrilled to welcome Benoit Iradukunda to our staff team as our Rwanda Coordinator! Benoit is brilliant, creative, and committed to uplifting young people across Africa. In this role, Benoit will visit schools and universities, meet with key stakeholders, and ensure our operations in Rwanda are running as smoothly as possible. Excitingly, Benoit actually found his university (African Leadership University) through a connection from Meto. We are delighted to see the process come full circle with Benoit joining our team five years later!
