Dieuveil Malonga

I say, I know what I want.

And I came to Rwanda, I opened my project in Kigali.

All people say, OK, good, we understand why you wanted to go to Kigali.

And when I tell them, OK, now I'm leaving Kigali, I'm going to this small village, all people are mad.

They say, are you mad?

Even the government in Rwanda say, are you sure what I'm going to do?

So the reason why I would come to visit Kulin Innovation Village is like, you know, today people are traveling for food.

Personally, I wanted to create an environment that I can share with people.

I wanted to create a space that people can come and learn.

Like, I'm going to eat, but so I can learn about Africa.

The ambition is to promote the product that you find in Africa, to create a pan-African space focusing on sharing and education.

So at Kunar Novation Village, we have a fermentation house.

People can come and learn about fermentation.

You can come and learn about spices and so the story beyond.

I love that.

I think food connected to the ecosystem.

And now our ecosystem is dying.

And I think all people know that what's happening with the climate change and everything is

And so the ambition to not be dependent on other people and other countries for food.

And so the ambition is to train people on using local product.
