Rwanda Diaspora Fundraiser

Fifteen years ago during 100 days of bloodshed, one million people were tragically and horrifically killed in Rwanda. They were killed by neighbors, friends, and family members--in churches, schools, and homes. It was one of the worst cases of mass murder this world has ever seen.

While Rwanda has made remarkeable strides since then, many survivors of the genocide are still struggling to get by. UNICEF reports that close to three million children, about 83% of the population, are classified as orphans or are vulnerable because they do not have family members to consistently rely upon for support. Children-run households are common, and many genocide orphans do not have homes.

During the Fifteenth Anniversary of Rwanda's Commemoration it is the goal of the Diaspora One Dollar Campaign, not only to remember, but to effectively do something for the survivors. It is their hope by everyone pitching in at least one dollar, we can raise money to build homes for at least 500 genocide orphans (this is being through RINA, a US-based 501c3 organization).

To check out how you can help, make sure you attend a "fun" fundraising event filled with music, films, and info!!!!

*So, why $1? One dollar is just a symbol - meaning that if each person can give a dollar....what a huge impact it could make in the lives of people around the globe. Each person is encouraged to genorously give according to what he/she can afford. Most importantly, $1 allows everyone, particularly those with limited means to be part of the initiative
