Alphonse Nahimana
Founder & Executive Director — Toronto, Canada
A visionary leader holding a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Equity and African Studies from the University of Toronto, Alphonse is currently pursuing a master's degree in project management. His 2015 independent study on food insecurity in Bihororo, Burundi sparked the creation of NCDP.
With a passion for innovation and community-driven leadership, Alphonse's dedication to excellence drives the NCDP team to achieve its goals — connecting the Burundian diaspora in Canada to communities on the ground in Burundi.
