Dear students, faculty, staff, and supporters of Elon Musk University of East Africa,
1. Personal Background:
As a young scholar in Rwanda, I dreamed of advancing my education beyond borders. But after many unsuccessful attempts to secure scholarships abroad, I faced a difficult truth shared by many aspiring minds across Africa: access to quality global education was limited, and often out of reach.
2. Challenges Faced:
Despite repeated setbacks, I did not give up. Eventually, I received a full scholarship to study online from my home country. It was not the traditional path I had imagined — but it became the foundation of a transformative journey.
3. Achievements That Inspired Action:
Through that opportunity, I completed my studies, began contributing original research in public health, and developed new theories to address the complex challenges facing our communities. These experiences affirmed not only the power of persistence, but the possibility of world-class education rooted at home. You will find my academic contribution at my academia page.
4. Vision for the University:
While I am deeply grateful to the university that nurtured me, I believe our continent needs a new direction in higher education — one that is learner-centered, socially responsive, digitally driven, and intellectually bold. I founded this university to realize that vision: a space where students are empowered to think critically, innovate contextually, and lead with purpose.
5. Call to Action or Welcome:
Welcome to a new kind of university — built not on tradition alone, but on transformation. I invite you to join us in shaping an education system that reflects our realities, meets our needs, and unlocks our potential.
As we embark on this remarkable journey together, I encourage each and every one of you to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Remember, your talent is precious, and we are here to help you unleash its full potential. Let us join hands in transforming lives, making education a fundamental right, and building a brighter future for all.
With warm regards,
Dr. Evariste Erwin SEBAHUTU, PhD, MPH
University Founder and Project Lead
