First as a highly trained member of the FAR (Forces Armées Rwandaise), and later upon their defeat by the rebel RPF (Rwanda Patriotic Front) a refugee in the Democratic Republic of Congo (then known as Zaire).
His military skills were used first by Congo Brazzaville’s rebel and then president Dennis Sasou Nguesso, who employed him as a bodyguard and then later by Laurent Desire Kabila.

The challenge of finding homes for these vulnerable children was one that needed the involvement of the entire Rwandan community and one of the most successful campaigns to do so was the ‘One Dollar Campaign’.
The campaign, a brainchild of the Association of Student Survivors of the Genocide (AERG) and members of the Rwandan Diaspora, raised money within and outside the country, money that was put to good use.
With the money raised, the AERG hostel, commonly known as the One Dollar Campaign complex, was built at a cost of Rwf1.7 billion in the Kigali suburb of Kinyinya.
