Voury Ignegongba was born the son of a diplomat in N’Djamena, Chad and grew up in Central and Western Africa where he attended local and French schools. He is fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Mundang.

Upon graduating in 1995 from Lycee Francais Liberte, he moved to North America and received his bachelor’s degree in Science at McGill University. He then settled in the Boston area.

He states:

“I am honored to play a role in promoting the goals of the AfriMed Network. It is my sincere hope that once this project is running smoothly in Cote d’Ivoire, that we can then focus on other areas of Africa where basic health care for so much of rural Africa needs to be expanded.”

Voury calls upon everyone who has ever wanted to help build a stronger and healthier African continent to go to the website www.afrimednetwork.org and contribute. He believes the AfriMed Network program will move quickly to help young mothers, their children, and their families in general to be healthier and lead more productive lives.

Voury is President of Africans in Boston which he founded in 2010.
