Lycée Technique Sainte Marie (LTSM) in Ruyigi started in September 2021 through the Association of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Burundi (AEOCB), with the goal of giving young people in rural communities access to an excellent technical education.
As a dedicated hub for professional growth, the school brings a high-profile technical education to its students, offering specialized programs across three main streams: Management IT, Telecommunications, and Computer Maintenance. Supported by modern digital tools and a reliable solar energy infrastructure, LTSM ensures that students receive the practical, hands-on skills necessary to thrive in today’s digital economy.
Our mission is to uplift and empower youth through accessible, top-tier technical training, creating strong pathways to employment and fostering academic excellence.
We envision LTSM as a leading, sustainable model for socio-economic transformation—driving community development, promoting equal opportunities in technology fields, and equipping our graduates to become skilled professionals and confident changemakers.
