Joyeuse Senga's journey has always been rooted in a deep commitment to equity and empowerment. As a public health researcher, she dedicates her work to advancing healthcare research. But her impact extends far beyond the research.

Her vision for change took shape when she co-founded Friends Career Center, a nonprofit in Rwanda and Canada dedicated to empowering low-income rural youth and those living with HIV. Through education, professional development, and art-based therapy programs, Friends Career Center has helped young people unlock opportunities that once seemed out of reach.

As an Access Ventures Fellow, Joyeuse is taking the next step in her mission with MentorHub, a platform designed to make mentorship accessible to all. Her goal is to create an accessible platform where high school students can gain skills and the guidance, they need to break the cycle of poverty and foster sustainable growth in their communities.

For Joyeuse, founding MentorHub is more than just launching a platform, it's about creating a movement. A movement that ensures mentorship is no longer a privilege, but a resource available to anyone, anywhere. Join the journey!
