PROGRAMS

• Sevota - Sevota's work in Rwanda promotes "activities relating to peace, reconciliation, and the promotion of human rights, women’s rights, and the rights of vulnerable children, through the creation of spaces for dialogue and capacity-building."
• Foundation Rwanda - From their website: "Currently, there are no governmental or private NGO programs dedicated solely to support and provide funds for education for children born from rape during the genocide. Foundation Rwanda identifies the holistic needs of these families and provides them with the funds and support they desperately need."
• Committee to Protect Journalists - "An independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1981. We promote press freedom worldwide by defending the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about CPJ."
• Reporters Without Borders - "In some countries a journalist can be thrown in prison for years for a single offending word or photo. Jailing or killing a journalist removes a vital witness to events and threatens the right of us all to be informed. Reporters Without Borders has fought for press freedom on a daily basis since it was founded in 1985."
• Freedom House - "Freedom House supports democratic change, monitors freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights around the world. We support nonviolent civic initiatives in societies where freedom is denied or under threat and we stand in opposition to ideas and forces that challenge the right of all people to be free."
• North America Commemoration of the Genocide Against Tutsi
