Genocide - Old Rwanda

Ten years ago, nearly a million Rwandans died in just 100 days when Hutu tribesmen began a campaign of genocide against members of the Tutsi tribe. Rwanda's population is now 56% women, half of them widows. As many as 60% of the women may have AIDS. In the face of such despair,and lost families rebuilding seems a daunting task. We can feel the sense of loss yet at the same time hope is in the air.
