Emmanuel Muhinda was born on February 5, 1985, in Kibungo, Rwanda to a large Tutsi family. His father, Evariste Mushayija, and mother, Verediana Nyiratamba, were animal and agricultural farmers. He had five older siblings all of whom perished during the genocide. Emmanuel remembers discrimination against Tutsis at school, including being segregated and beaten by Hutu teachers. During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, he initially survived the massacre at Ntarama church by falling to the ground during the attack. He then survived by hiding in swamps with extended family members. After the genocide, he lived in an orphanage and went back to primary school, and was supported through adolescence by distant relatives and kind strangers. At the time of his interview in 2011, he was in his third year of obtaining an undergraduate degree in Procurement from Uganda Christian University. He was interviewed on September 8, 2011, in Kigali, Rwanda.
