Adelard envisions a transformed Burundi and Africa where education becomes the foundation for sustainable development and strong, Christ-centered leadership.

As Head of the Primary Section at Discovery International School, he believes schools must not only pursue academic excellence but also instill values of integrity, service, and responsibility. His desire is to see young people raised as ethical leaders and problem-solvers who will positively impact their communities and beyond.

His journey of faith began in 2007, during a difficult season in secondary school, when he accepted Jesus as his Savior and found purpose and direction. Since then, he has served in youth ministry, advising young people struggling with addiction and guiding them toward healing through family and community reintegration. These experiences, together with his background in education, have shaped his leadership approach—serving with humility, empowering others, and reflecting Christ’s character in every aspect of his work.

He is applying to the Abundant Leadership Institute to strengthen his leadership in education and beyond. Adelard hopes to grow in strategic planning, team development, and innovation while connecting with other servant leaders. By refining his skills through ALI, he seeks to further equip his team, empower his students, and contribute to raising a generation of leaders who will transform Africa with wisdom, resilience, and faith.
