Donatila Kanimba refused to let blindness hinder her
Briefly tell us about yourself. I am 52 years old and I’ve had my position since 1996.I was born in Burundi; I am the fifth born in the family of eight. Sadly, four of my siblings past away during the liberation struggle. My late parents were Callixte Kanimba and Zamariya Mahunda.
