Twenty-six years ago, the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsis tore Rwanda apart, creating a "lost generation" of youth. Remarkably, in its aftermath the nation created a neighborhood court system that processed nearly a million perpetrators with the aim of both justice and forgiveness. Rwanda’s progress is miraculous, yet the cycle of poverty threatens the safely and future of a generation of youth. Today, Rwanda Rise is helping a lost generation learn a specialized trade, such as welding, culinary arts, sewing, carpentry, and hairstyling, in addition to entrepreneurship.
Rwanda Rise's training center is in the epicenter of Africa’s most remarkable turnaround story.
