Rwanda Remembered is a charity initiative set up primarily to raise awareness and commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide through a series of concerts. The money raised from Rwanda Remembered will be directly donated to Comfort Rwanda, who liaise with the indigenous charities in Rwanda to ensure that needs are met. The aim of this initiative is to provide practical support for survivors by providing food supplies, support for orphan headed households, providing goats and cattle for survivor communities, and trauma counselling.
