Jean Claude Muhire
Founder and President, Love the Kids Foundation, Rwanda

In 2017, I  was among the lucky 50 young leaders selected from a pool of over 1000 applicants to take part in the 6th edition of the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program. When I traveled to Marrakesh, I met the other 49 Young Leaders who are doing incredible work in different communities from across the Atlantic basin.

We had the opportunity to learn more about the work of the Policy Center for the New South, take part in stimulating discussions and also visit different sites and institutions which are creating great impact in Morocco, like the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. ADEL was a great platform to connect, inspire, motivate and call upon distinguished people with various backgrounds to transform lives in communities. Talks and conversations have very much focused on different areas including education, agriculture, business and entrepreneurship, leadership, and so on. I was also invited to take part in a live debate during the ADEL program where I talked about my contribution in promoting education for the vulnerable children of Rwanda. Last but most importantly, I had a chance to pitch a project to all conference participants. The feedback was always motivating and appreciative. "
