The story of
Dieudonné Nahimana
Dieudonné Nahimana is a Burundian social entrepreneur, visionary changemaker, and servant of God in the apostolic ministry, whose life story embodies resilience, compassion, and national hope. He is married to Kanyenyeri Maryam, and together they are raising four children. He is the founder of New Generation Burundi, Ubuntu Agency, Oasis Christian Center, and the Dieudonné Nahimana Foundation (DNF).
His passion for servant leadership and youth empowerment was born from personal tragedy. In 1993, during the civil war in Burundi, Dieudonné lost his father and several family members to ethnic violence. Left with no resources, no home, and no future in sight, he found himself on the streets—alone, grieving, and deeply wounded. But it was there, in the darkest of places, that a new light began to shine.
