After the Rwanda Genocide occurred a mere 10 years before, Willy Rumenera and Carole Canale-Mayet met they decided to act for change and create a non-profit organization, Village Makeover that focuses on developing projects related to education, housing, water, agriculture and livestock, health, economic development and social opportunities. Canale-Mayet believes in the "Each One Teach One" philosophy, especially in education where her organization, Village Makeover gives opportunities to those in Rwanda to create the education to then form a network of knowledge for individuals living in various communities.
