Rwanda Sisterhood Association offers an environment for social interaction and support. It promotes a culture of understanding and tolerance among its Members, and within the community, at large.

After the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, Rwandan women living in the United Kingdom decided to create a support group, The Rwandan Sisterhood Association, to bring together women uprooted from their motherland and give them space in which to unite and work together to better their lot in the belief that a united community is a good foundation for the unity of a nation, especially one like Rwanda that had been badly fractured by the genocide.

Aims:

  1. Offer an environment for social interaction and support;
  2. Promote a culture of understanding and tolerance among its
  3. Members, and within the community, at large
