HAHCD’s President Amos Ruhindwa originally comes from remote areas of Congo in the territory of Uvira in the province of South Kivu.
After witnessing the horrors of Congo’s wars and settling in Australia, Amos wanted to help his homeland still mired in extreme poverty, tribal conflicts, and lack of health infrastructures. After years of discussions with relevant stakeholders and research into the most effective ways to sustainably lift people out of poverty, he concluded that supporting healthcare and implementing community development initiatives is one of proactive ways to improve the living standards of families and communities in Uvira.
