Ildephonse MMANGYO is a Congolese intellectual pursuing a bachelor's degree in Commerce, specialization in Finance at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Before coming to Canada, he lived in Malawi, a small landlocked country in southeastern Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. That is where is completed his high school and served as the head of the prefect council in his final year. Mmangyo was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but his family had fled to Tanzania upon the serge of civil war in 1996. To this day, he still remembers his adjustment in the Tanzanian community where he had an opportunity not only to learn "Kiswahili Fasaa"-- meaning a proper way of speaking the Swahili language but also to adopt or adapt to different aspects of the Tanzanian culture.

Mmangyo decided to specialize in Finance following his passion for Maths since he was younger. This passion is what led him to continue doing well in a domain that is commonly feared by many youngsters of his age. He is always involved in financial activities such as stock trading and options analysis to harness his skills in the field he is passionate about. He also founded "Twaweza Initiative", a cooperative at the grassroots level aimed for mutual assistance in sharing best practices of handlining finances among young people. This initiative brings onboard people with diverse life experiences to share stories of success and offer advice on the importance of saving and investing for financial freedom.
