The Mutimura Foundation
The Mutimura Foundation is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to cater for the betterment and
common-benefit of the general public.
The Foundation's Legacy
The Mutimura Foundation bears its name in loving memory of the late Mr. Dominique Mutimura who was killed during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. His love and passion for education and learning left an everlasting impact and legacy on his surviving family. Therefore, in preserving his legacy and striving for overall positive societal betterment, his surviving son, Mr. Parfait Mutimura, founded the Mutimura Foundation in order to, not only give back to his community in Rwanda, but also pay it forward, having himself benefited from philanthropic actions during his early formative upbringing in Rwanda.
