The Founder's Journey: Meet Ayivugwe Kabemba
Founder of Wekify LLC — A story of resilience, determination, and the power of technology to preserve heritage
From Congo-Kinshasa to Burundi
A Journey of Hope
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I fled the war-torn region with my family, seeking safety in Burundi. This experience of displacement and cultural adaptation deeply influenced my understanding of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and language.
Life in the Refugee Camp
Building Community
Growing up in a refugee camp taught me the value of community and the power of shared experiences. It was here that I first recognized how technology could be used to preserve and share our stories, traditions, and language.
Education and Growth
The Path to Innovation
At Ngozi University, I discovered my passion for technology and its potential to bridge cultural gaps. The ARCIN project became my first step in combining technology with cultural preservation, setting the foundation for what would become Wekify LLC.
