Aimé Landry Arakaza, a resident of Jabe in Bujumbura, and an architecture graduate from Summit International Institute, is the founder and CEO of LASO Company (Landry Arts Solutions). His business specializes in high-quality printing services, producing wall art for home décor, wall prints, and artistic wall painting using various types of paint.
“Printing has been my passion since childhood, but I began taking it seriously after completing secondary school in 2017, before joining university,” Landry shares. “I decided to turn it into a profession. By 2020, the increasing demand from clients who trusted me with their orders made me realize the need to establish my own company. I also wanted to create job opportunities for other talented artists, allowing them to benefit from their skills.”
To finance his venture, Landry reinvested earnings from his early projects, steadily expanding the business. Today, LASO Company provides employment to young professionals, contributing to efforts to reduce youth unemployment. He believes that engaging young people in productive work helps deter them from idleness and negative influences.
Landry encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to embrace their talents, emphasizing that skills can be a pathway to self-reliance, financial independence, and economic growth for both individuals and the country.
