In 2012, Bahati Bertin Matonde leaves the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A refugee in Uganda, he founded Self-made Africans in 2013 — an organization that trains young refugees in cinema, sustainable agriculture and entrepreneurship.
During COVID-19, his project « The Let Be One Show » distributed seeds to more than 5,000 people at the Kyaka II camp. In 2024, Bertin set down his bags in Montreal — Tabar Café became the continuation of his mission.
