Meet the founder

My name is Graciella Ntahiraja, and my heart beats for Burundi.  

For four years, I lived in Missouri, USA, as a student—immersed in new opportunities, cultures, and perspectives. But no matter how far I traveled, my mind and soul remained anchored in Burundi. I carried a dream, one some might call *crazy*: to return home and play my part in transforming our nation.  
So I came back. Not just to dream, but to act.

Why Muhira Connect

Too often, the potential for change is scattered—individuals with expertise, resources, or passion don’t know how to connect. Local initiatives struggle in isolation. Brilliant minds abroad long to contribute but lack a bridge back home. 

Mission

Our mission is to promote local development by uniting Burundians at home and abroad, changemakers, and global allies Imagine:  

- Professionals sharing skills and opportunities freely.  

- Entrepreneurs collaborating to grow sustainable businesses.  

- Young leaders inspired and equipped to drive change.  

- Investors and innovators linking arms to uplift communities.  

 

This is more than networking. This is nation building.

Join me in Muhira Connect. Let’s turn our individual strengths into collective impact. Let’s share openly, collaborate boldly, and work tirelessly until every corner of Burundi reflects the future we know is possible.
