NAME: Martine Umubyeyi

COUNTRY: Rwanda

BUSINESS: Macadamia Hotels (hotel)

Martine, 42 years old, owns Macadamia Hotels. She and her husband owned a large plot of land with a nice view over the town, so she thought a hotel might be a good way to fill the space. So far, the hotel construction is still a work in progress. The multipurpose hall and rooms will be available to the public this month. Martine currently has 14 employees. She hopes to expand the number of rooms, and eventually open up more hotel branches.

Martine hopes to find a suitable replacement for her job outside of her business, so she can focus all of her attention exclusively on Macadamia.

By attending PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS, Martine wants to learn more about hotel management, accounting and human resources.
