Youth Venture

Ram was born in a village called Gumsu, Mao-Kanem Chad, in family of ten, to a Chadian father and a Rwandese mother. Throughout his childhood, because of the nature of his father’s job, he has traveled to numerous African countries like Libya, Niger, Sudan, DRC, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Burundi, Congo Brazzaville, and later settled in Uganda where he pursued his high school education and is now pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration/Marketing at Makerere University. Throughout his school life, he has led community based organizations and projects aimed at empowering Africa. Recently, he was a trainer in a project funded by the Citizen Entrepreneurship Development Agency (CEDA-Botswana) that trained university students on starting up a business, with 15 businesses implemented. As a strong advocator of good governance, though not much of a politician, he harbors a dream of becoming a successful Entrepreneur. Ram’s life philosophies are “we can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb them, or build with them” and “Every thing that irritates us about others can lead us in to an understanding of our selves.”
