Early life

She and her farming parents migrated to Belgium in order to find jobs, but they returned to Butare in 1957. She belonged to the Hutu ethnic group that made up the majority of Rwanda's population.

After success in public examinations, she was educated at Notre Dame des Cîteaux Secondary School and obtained a certificate in Humanities in 1973. She continued with graduate studies in mathematics and chemistry, after which she became a schoolteacher in Butare in 1976. She was teaching chemistry at the National University of Rwanda in Butare by 1983. She received a B.Sc. In 1985, I started teaching chemistry in Butare's academic schools for four years. Traditionalists chastised her for promoting mathematics and science research amongst female students.
