BARAZA
A platform for knowledge exchange, where members of the African diaspora and development partners share insights about the Africa we want to build

What's Happening?

Remembering Rwanda

April 7 – June 30 – 100 Days of Remembering

"Every year since 1994, Rwandans and friends of Rwanda from around the world remember innocent lives lost in Rwanda. In one hundred days, more than a million people were slaughtered because they were born Tutsis. We say Never Again. The photographs on the walls of the Gisozi Memorial Centre in Kigali remind us of our collective responsibility to honour their deaths. Every year, we remember them and work harder to build resilient communities in Rwanda."
