ABOUT US
Our mission and our staff
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to spearhead the development and use of effective e-learning in Rwanda and the East African Community. We want the brand “Made in Rwanda” for e-learning to mean: localised, interactive, well-adapted, creative and effective.
We aim to be a creative and exciting company where young people have the chance to grow and achieve their ambitions. Within five years the company will be fully owned by our employees. They will be able to develop the company further in both Rwanda and abroad.
OUR STAFF
Director and instructional designer
Gerry van der Hulst
Creating e-learning courses and programmes makes me happy. Sometimes I sit at my computer bouncing with joy when I discover a good, simple way of presenting something that seemed quite complicated. And the greatest joy of all is when my learners have an ’’Aha!’’ moment, and they understand something we‘ve been learning together.
I have been the director of Three Mountains learning advisors since 2015. It continues to be an honour to lead such a great team of creative people, all dedicated to moving e-learning forward in Rwanda and even further, into East Africa.
Learning never stops, each project takes us into new fields and brings us new experiences.

Chief financial officer, coach, trainer
Jan Willem Eggink
I want to see things moving forward. Not necessarily fast, but slow and steady. I want to create quality online products that contribute to the development and economic growth of Rwanda. Seeing young people develop and acquire skills makes me happy. I also feel thankful when I can help organisations and their projects to be more effective in what they are trying to achieve.
I’m looking forward to creating our online Life Skills Academy as then, we will not only be e-course developers, but also e-course trainers!
As a person who wants things to be ‘right’, I also do bookkeeping. I admire the beauty of a completely balanced accounts ledger – and I also like solving puzzles and riddles. Finding that one tiny discrepancy in the accounts, even if it doesn’t earn any money, – ah, there’s such satisfaction when I finally get it right!

Instructional designer
Abdulkalim Sezirahiga
Working at here has been an amazing experience. I get to design learning that truly connects with people. The kind that makes learners say, “Aaah… now I get it!”
As an Instructional Designer, I combine my tech background with my passion for creating engaging and practical learning experiences. I focus on making knowledge easy to access and enjoyable for everyone, whether they are just starting out or already experienced.
I love blending traditional learning methods with new technology and creative ideas to make each course flexible, interactive, and most of all, FUN.
Because when learning is fun, it’s unforgettable!
Trust me, the best learning happens when it feels like an adventure, not a chore.

Life Skills Academy coordinator
Germaine Mukansoro
I am always thrilled to find myself in an environment where creativity, learning and innovation are driving my daily activities. Joining Three mountains as a social skills trainer is an exciting journey that is going to fulfil my professional and personal career growth.
I took a Training of Trainers (ToT) in 2016 when I joined my second year of university. After the ToT, I started training fellow students about agribusiness. They set out on their journey to start microenterprises. One of the trainees started a compost making business with diverse species of earthworms, a real success story.
In 2018, I joined a two-year leadership and women empowerment program as a trainer where I got to love being a trainer.

Administration and finance officer
Alaine Gloria Mugeni
In 2022, I joined Three Mountains Learning Advisors as an Administration and Finance Officer following the successful completion of an internship with the company. My role encompasses bookkeeping, marketing, human resources, and various administrative tasks, all aimed at ensuring the smooth financial and operational management of the organization.
My passion for finance began during my college years when I served as Finance Minister. Although I initially pursued a degree in Crop Science, I realized it was never too late to follow my true interests. This realization inspired me to open new doors and embark on a journey to pursue a career in finance and administration.
My primary goal is to optimize the financial and economic outcomes for the company. For me, it’s not just about managing large sums of money; it’s about effectively allocating resources, identifying the right clients through strategic marketing, and ensuring financial stability. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing the ledger balanced and knowing I’ve contributed to the company’s success.

Instructional designer
Ineza Clemence
I am an eager beaver lady, my passion is to create solutions to the world’s problems using technology. We need to bring learning to people not people to learning and this is what I do at Three Mountains. As an instructional designer when it comes to e-learning, content means everything. If e-learning content is not masterfully designed, all the rest will just go down the drain.
I truly believe that if you just tell the learners, they will forget; if you teach them, they might remember but by engaging and involving them with interactive content, surely they will learn.
I like to contribute to the effective use of e-learning in Rwanda and the East African Community. E-learning provides learners with easy and quick access to the content they need, anytime, anywhere.
I joined Three Mountains in April 2022 as an e-course developer with a background in course development and Information technology.

Aline Akineza
I’ve always had a passion for creating new things, and I thrive in environments that inspire creativity. My role as an instructional designer at Three Mountains allows me to explore new ideas and push the boundaries of traditional education.
Having studied education in university, I am passionate about developing learning materials that are practical and relevant to learners’ lives. As a pragmatist, I believe education should equip learners with useful knowledge and skills.
As society evolves with changing technologies, I am excited about the potential of e-learning platforms to make education more engaging and accessible. My goal is to shift from traditional teaching methods and create teaching materials that are more accessible to all, enjoyable, and relevant to the learner’s daily life.

I’ve always been fascinated by how learning can transform complex ideas into clear, engaging experiences. Designing e-learning courses allows me to explore that transformation by creatively blending design, storytelling, and education to make knowledge meaningful and accessible.

For me, learning is a continuous journey, one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and a genuine desire to help others discover new ways of understanding.

I have always been driven by a passion for empowering people in need and giving back to my community, especially through educational technology.

Christian Mwiseneza
I have a background in entrepreneurial leadership and agriculture, along with experience as a trainer and assistant project awareness coordinator at Red Rocks for 2 years. This has given me a strong appreciation for the transformative power of learning.
I’m excited about the shift from traditional to e-learning, especially its potential to overcome geographical barriers. I’ve taken courses like gender analytics for Innovation at the University of Toronto and Working for a Sustainable Future: Concepts and Approaches at the University of Lund on Coursera, something not possible 10 years ago. Three Mountains Learning Advisors’ goal of creating localised, interactive, and effective e-learning aligns with my personal interest. I’m drawn to the company’s supportive environment for young professionals and emphasis on employee ownership.
My dream is to actively contribute to the future of e-learning, change how people learn and open up new opportunities for personal development.

Vincent Nyalik
Animation, video, drawing, design – they all demand creativity combined with personal talent and skills. All of this helps me to make what I want, or what the client likes.
I develop animations for my YouTube channel. I do all the work for this myself: making the storyboard, the drawings and the voice-overs. I think this is the best way to work. I get ideas and inspiration from others – for example, Greg Capullo. When I look at his work, I try to improve on that, and refine my own style.
I work from Kenya. Sometimes, people say: “No, it’s not like that in Rwanda!’’ – so then I change things. This feedback has improved the quality of my work. Designing great materials is a creative process between people.
I’ve been working with Three Mountains since 2014. I created a lot of their e-course images, such as the images on gender.
My passion: my You Tube channel with animated bible stories

Sheilagh Neilson
I’ve always loved working, living and travelling, especially to those far-flung, ‘off the beaten track’ countries with exotic, vibrant cultures, beautiful, natural landscapes and interesting people–far from shopping centres and fast food cafes!
As a foreign languages graduate, and a native English speaker, I‘ve combined travel with my love of teaching, training and learning with others in Papua New Guinea, Turkey, the Balkans, Middle East and South-East Asia. Seeing trainees and students engage with the courses and materials that I design and deliver is always a real pleasure!
I’m currently ’at home’ in Rwanda, balancing consultancy and voluntary work in the education and training sector. I’ve worked with Three Mountains since 2020 on a project basis, developing my online and f2f training development and delivery
