TheHuye Background
TheHuye started as a small project initiated by Derrick Iradukunda, who aimed to build a website to provide news and information about the University of Rwanda. While developing the website, Derrick added a feedback form, and it quickly gained popularity among students who appreciated its organized and user-friendly presentation. As more people discovered the platform, students began requesting information about other universities. This growing demand led to the expansion of the platform, adding one university at a time, with detailed explanations about each.
In September, students began calling Derrick directly for updates and information. To address this, he created a WhatsApp group to share news and updates more efficiently. This group soon grew into TheHuye’s largest community and remains a cornerstone of its success today. What started as a simple initiative now boasts the biggest university-focused student group in the world.
However, none of this would have been possible without the technical expertise and leadership of NYITURIKI Elyse, who joined as a co-founder. While Derrick focused on marketing and building connections, Elyse led the software development efforts, transforming TheHuye from a basic website into a robust platform. Her skills in software development allowed the platform to scale efficiently, meet the increasing demand, and maintain its reputation for reliability. Beyond her technical contributions, Elyse has been an exceptional community leader, inspiring the team and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
Team Members
TheHuye began as a vision in one individual’s mind, but it has grown into a collaborative effort. Derrick Iradukunda, with his bold goal to make university news accessible to everyone, and NYITURIKI Elyse, with her unparalleled technical skills and leadership, laid the foundation for what TheHuye is today. Over time, as the platform’s popularity surged, it became clear that a larger team was needed to meet the growing demand.
Today, TheHuye consists of a team of six dedicated individuals, along with freelancers who assist in various capacities. Despite this, the team continues to face challenges in keeping up with the overwhelming demand. To address this, TheHuye plans to expand the team to 15 members by the end of the year, ensuring it remains a reliable source of information for students across the country and beyond.
