About the Foundation

One source. A gathering without borders.

The Foundation began with a promise made to a father — Claver Buzizi — who, after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, started a non-charity project in his home village of Bisesero (Kibuye) to help widows and people in need. His son Claude has carried that work forward into a foundation that now serves communities far beyond Rwanda — wherever a meal, a scholarship, or a skill can change the trajectory of a life.

Our Mission

What we exist to do

To be a source of warmth — meals, scholarships, and income-building skills — and to gather around it the people who have been kept furthest from it.

Three rays from one source — Feed, Educate, Equip — and the discipline of turning every person we reach into a ray for the next.

Our Vision

A gathering with no edges

A widow in Bisesero, a student in Nairobi, a young mother in Brussels, a family anywhere a need is real — every spark gets the same warmth. The work has no borders. The ray that reaches one person is the same one that, eventually, reaches the next.

Today's recipient becomes tomorrow's giver. That's the only model we believe in.

Founder's Story

Meet Claude Buzizi

Born in Rwanda. Did my primary schooling through P3 in Nairobi, Kenya — where I learned Swahili and where the Maasai people taught me lessons in resilience I still draw from every day. Returned to Rwanda, then later moved to Belgium, where I got married and was finally able to fulfill a long-held dream: making and accepting payments online — something that, to this day, remains nearly impossible for entrepreneurs inside Rwanda.

The Foundation is the continuation of work my late father, Claver Buzizi, began after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi — a non-charity project in his village of Bisesero (Kibuye) to help widows and families in need. I built the Foundation to take that work global.

The only success worth keeping is the kind that gathers.

Claude Buzizi · Founder & CEO

Claude founded the Foundation to route the income, network, and curriculum of the Mognetize universe into the communities he came from. Earning Blueprints subscribers fund meals through Rise Against Hunger. Donors fund scholarships and masterclass seats. The same playbook that built Mognetize equips the next generation of givers.

How We Got Here

From a side project to a foundation

After 1994 · Bisesero, Rwanda

Claver Buzizi's promise to the widows

In the aftermath of the Genocide against the Tutsi, Claude's late father Claver Buzizi starts a non-charity project in his home village of Bisesero (Kibuye) to help widows and families in need. The Foundation's roots are here.

Boyhood · Nairobi, Kenya

Primary school, Swahili, and the Maasai

Claude is born in Rwanda and does his pre-unity and primary school through P3 in Nairobi, Kenya. He learns Swahili, and the Maasai people teach him resilience strategies he still carries today. He later returns to Rwanda.

Belgium · Online Payments

Building what Rwanda still cannot

Claude moves to Belgium, marries, and finally fulfills his dream of making and accepting payments online — a fundamental capability still out of reach for most entrepreneurs in Rwanda. The income engine that funds the Foundation is built here.

Empower & Elevate

The Earning Blueprints → meals pipeline

Every Earning Blueprints subscription begins routing 20 meals through Rise Against Hunger. The model is proven: business income can become someone else's survival.

Today

The Claude Buzizi Foundation

The Foundation formalizes Claver's promise and takes it global — Feed, Educate, Equip — serving people wherever a need is real, from Bisesero to anywhere the work is called for.

What we believe

Five values, non-negotiable

Dignity first

Every story is told with the consent and the words of the person who lived it.

Outcomes over output

We measure what changed in someone's life — not how much we spent doing it.

Transparent by default

Annual reports, audited financials, and program data — all public, all the time.

Local first

We partner with leaders inside the community before we send anything in.

Built to compound

A scholarship today is a mentor tomorrow. We design programs that pay forward.

Faith in people

We bet on the human in front of us — long before they have a track record to point to.

Stand with us.
