Furthermore, Benie served as a teacher at La Merveille Nursery School, developing classroom management skills and pedagogical materials.

In this role, she trained over 100 young entrepreneurs in business and digital skills, helping them apply these skills to their businesses. Benie’s commitment to gender equality is evident in her work as a Young Women Researcher at Digital Opportunity Trust Global, where she analyzed and promoted women’s inclusion in various activities on an international level. Benie is guided by the belief that empowering women benefits society as a whole. She served as a Consultant for the Impanuro Girls Initiative, teaching economic skills to 50 young women in the Ruhango district and assisting them in applying these skills to their lives. She emphasizes the importance of community collaboration, especially in rural areas, for sustainable development. She is currently working with CorpsAfrica, furthering her community service experience.
