Yoshua Ndagimana Masasu is founder and head of the Evangelical Restoration Church in Rwanda, DRC and Burundi. Below he tells us about his day at work;

I wake up at 6a.m, read the bible and say a prayer. I then refresh myself as I prepare to leave for work at 7a.m. It takes about 15 minutes to get to Nyarutarama where I operate from.

After registering my presence, I surf the internet a bit and finally get to the day’s schedule. I do many things and part of them is working out measures to support those infected and affected by HIV/Aids.

This, among other activities, includes supporting them to start income generating activities so as to fight poverty. I therefore spend little time in office as I have to be in the field or consulting various stakeholders.

I have lunch at around 1p.m and spend some time resting until 2 when I have to start the afternoon program. As part of my duties, in the afternoon I attend to people who visit our offices. I work until 6 although it may depend on the day’s program.

At 6p.m, I head to Mt Kenya University where I am doing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA).

At 9p.m, I head home. At that time, I ca not do anything because I feel exhausted. I therefore shower and rest until 9.30 when I have supper. I say a prayer and then go to bed at around 10p.m.
