Jane is in the tea business, Tech Consult, where she distributes tea to government organizations. Her future plans include packaging her own tea, as well as becoming involved in agricultural processing, specially the creation of tomato sauce. She currently focuses on organic soups and cakes made from beans.

Jane is eager to learn the marketing side of business and she is also excited to share her knowledge with fellow Rwandan businesswomen.

Jane was born in a refugee camp in Uganda, where her father worked as a tailor. Jane can remember helping out at her father’s shop as a child. She is very grateful for her father’s hard work, as it allowed her and her seven brothers and sisters to complete their education through the university level. What most inspiring, Jane says, is that her father never had the opportunity to attend school himself.

Since the Rwandan government is facilitating agriculture transformation, Jane is now very busy with the new company called Rwanda Agro Processors, operating as a Managing Director.

Jane is looking forward to seeing such a developed country like United States, and she hopes it will inspire her to think big and expand her business in a modern way.
