Rwanda is committed to fighting the ideology of Genocide.
When visiting Rwanda, it is impossible not to see and learn about the impact of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. While this is a remarkably moving experience, it is at the same time surprisingly uplifting, as you will experience first-hand how the people of Rwanda have moved forward together positively and are an example to the World of a success story in peace and reconciliation.
The memorials found throughout the country are moving testimonies in memory of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Inaugurated on the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, the Kigali Genocide Memorial is where 259000 victims have been buried. This memorial also serves to educate about Genocides that have taken place during the 20th Century.
Today Rwanda is a peaceful, vibrant and forward-looking country.
No longer divided through tribal affiliation, Rwandans are now one working together in rebuilding the Nation. The country has advanced enormously in terms of improved education, health, social security and encouraging individual entrepreneurship.
