Meet the Team
Ntambara Jean de Dieu
Founder, Jado Village Foundation
Ntambara Jean de Dieu founded the Jado Village Foundation in 2022, with official operations beginning on January 1, 2023. Born into a family of ten children, he witnessed firsthand how difficult it was for many families in his community to afford school-related expenses.
Motivated by these experiences, he created the foundation to support children’s access to education. Starting with just ten students, his work has steadily grown, helping more children attend school as funding allows.
Peter Gustav Bangert
Technical Advisor, Jado Village Foundation
Peter Gustav Bangert is a German-American software specialist currently living in Berlin. After completing his studies, he visited Rwanda, where he met Ntambara Jean de Dieu in Akagera National Park.
Inspired by the strong sense of community and Ntambara’s commitment to the children in his village, Peter joined the foundation as technical advisor. Today, he manages the website, email, and online donation systems.
