About Us
We’re here to drive the change.

Win Together Canada Foundation was born from the personal history and experiences of its founders, Mr. Rugemintwaza Jean Pierre and his wife, Diane Umutoni. Their journey is deeply rooted in resilience, faith, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact on individuals and communities. Both Jean Pierre and Diane faced the heartbreaking loss of their parents at a young age, which led them to be raised by other family members. Despite this early tragedy, they were fortunate to be taken in by responsible and loving guardians, who provided them with the care, support, and guidance needed to navigate life’s challenges. These experiences instilled in them a deep appreciation for the importance of family, mentorship, and the transformative power of a strong, nurturing environment.

Jean Pierre and Diane’s early experiences, shaped by their own struggles and the care of their adoptive families, gave them the tools they needed to become compassionate and dedicated parents themselves. Today, they are proud parents to three beautiful children, and they are committed to passing on the same values of love, resilience, responsibility, and empowerment that were given to them.

Their personal journey inspired the creation of the Win Together Canada Foundation, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals, especially young people and families, through education, capacity building, and mentorship. The foundation’s mission is to foster personal growth and collective success. By promoting values of resilience, responsibility, and empowerment, Jean Pierre and Diane aim to create lasting change and build stronger, more resilient communities.
