Runtime: 12:17
Date posted: 11 years ago
Description: When the Genocide against the Tutsi ended in July 1994 over million people had been murdered and a third of the victims were children. In addition to that tragedy, over 100,000 children were orphaned according to Unicef.
These children had been orphaned because either their parents were murdered during the Genocide, or they had passed away shortly after.
The challenge of finding homes for these vulnerable children was one that needed the involvement of the entire Rwandan community and one of the most successful campaigns to do so was the ‘One Dollar Campaign’.
The campaign, a brainchild of the Association of Student Survivors of the Genocide (AERG) and members of the Rwandan Diaspora, raised money within and outside the country, money that was put to good use.
With the money raised, the AERG hostel, commonly known as the One Dollar Campaign complex, was built at a cost of Rwf1.7 billion in the Kigali suburb of Kinyinya.
The complex, whose const...

Description: About Rwanda National Heroes

Among the most revered heroes is the Late Maj. Gen. Fred Gisa Rwigema, the valiant soldier who spearheaded the quest for Rwandan refugees to return home and bring an end to a regime that had condemned a section of Rwandans to a permanent life of refuge, while it discriminated against and suppressed millions inside the country.

Rwigema falls under the Imanzi category alongside the Unknown Soldier, who represents all those that died during the liberation struggle between October 1990 and July 1994. Imanzi, which only has two honorees, cannot be bestowed to anyone who is still living.

The second category is known as Imena, and comprises those who made great sacrifices, while the third, Ingenzi, is composed of men and women who have led exemplary lives.

Heroes who fall under the second category (Imena), include King Mutara III Rudahigwa Charles Léon Pierre and Michael Rwagasana who was killed in the early 19...
