I am Dorcas Rachetée Ishimwe, a 21-years-old Rwandan. I have a passion for advocating for people and mass communication in general. That is why I am currently pursuing a Bachelors’ degree in Mass Media and Communication.
I work as a Communication Officer in an organization called SYTRIECI, which is affiliated to StreetNet International. I started working for this organization when I was 18, and it was a very big help to me as I was following my communication studies. I have learned a lot through these almost four years I spent with SYTRIECI and now I can say that advocating for human rights is a big part of my life.
I grew up in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, with my three younger brothers and my parents. I love taking pictures, writing and reading in my free time. Surprisingly, I do all of that while listening to music. I also love to travel, even though I haven’t been able to do it as much as I wanted due to COVID-19. Hopefully, it will end soon.
I recently was selected to be one of StreetNet International Youth Reporters on the Ground and I am very excited and thrilled to experience this new opportunity. I wish you all a great and healthy life ahead!
