The work is already bigger than one person.

Ayivugwe was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and fled the war with his family to Burundi. He grew up in a refugee camp, where community was not an idea — it was how people stayed themselves. That is where he first saw that stories, language, and records disappear unless someone keeps them.

At Ngozi University he started building. A first laptop. A city guide app. The ARCIN project. Later, after personal loss, he made tools for memory — Nikumbuke Weka Kumbukumbu, remember, keep records. The thread was already there: software that helps a community hold on to what matters.

In 2020 he looked for Ibufuliiru online and found almost nothing. That gap became Kifuliiru Lab — dictionaries, writing tools, teaching materials, a place for Bafuliiru to build together. He did not pause that work to build other products. He builds them in parallel, and he is the main user: creating conversations and other Kifuliiru content inside the platforms. Wenodify exists to make that content. Peacae PM exists so the language tools can be developed with AI-agent-native project management.

He founded Wekify LLC in 2025. The name comes from Kuweka — to keep, to preserve, to hold safe. Today he still holds both domains himself, from Spokane — building the platforms and using them as the first user — with a global focus that starts with Kifuliiru and does not end there.
