Current Crisis
The Rwandan Genocide

The 1994 Rwandan Genocide is considered a tragic humanitarian crisis. In only 100 days nearly 1 million people were brutally slaughtered.

Rwanda has made tremendous efforts to overcome their past, yet with one of the world’s highest concentrations of orphans and child-lead households, the effects of 1994 still linger in a form of systemic poverty.

Poverty, lack of education, and poor economic opportunities leave vulnerable Rwandan children at risk for exploitation, abuse, and a continued generational cycle of despair.
