Amplifying the Voices of Second-Generation Survivors: Intare's Story Featured on NPR

As Rwanda marks the 30th commemoration of the genocide (April - July), the country reflects on the immense progress made while acknowledging the profound scars that remain. While strides have been taken in peace-building, healthcare, education, unity, reconciliation, and resilience, there are those who continue to suffer in silence.


We are honored to share the story of Intare, a courageous second-generation survivor of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi and Foundation Rwanda Ambassador, who was recently featured on NPR's Here & Now. 


In an exclusive interview with NPR host Deepa Fernandes, Intare and Foundation Rwanda Program Director, Samuel Munderere, highlighted the urgent need for collective action to address the stigma, emotional trauma, and ongoing discrimination second-generation survivors born of rape face. 


Intare's story is an inspiration! Their bravery in speaking out for the first time globally has sparked a call to action to raise awareness about the challenges faced by second-generation survivors and advocating for the support they need.


We encourage you to listen to the NPR story and learn more about Intare's powerful message.
