Our work, acknowledged by the Royal Highnesses during a visit to Kigali
In June 2022 The Royal Highnesses, Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Rwanda.
During this visit The Royal Highnesses met with the Founder and Director of Rwanda Women’s Network Mary Balikungeri and women survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi who have been supported by our organisation for over 20 years.
We were chosen to participate in this visit because of the major role we played in supporting women who underwent unspeakable violences during the genocide and the work we have been doing ever since to end Gender Based Violence in Rwanda.
In 2018, Mary Balikungeri was also awarded by Queen Elizabeth with the ‘Point of Light’ in honor of her inspirational & exceptional acts in supporting thousands of victims of Gender based Violence.
