Genocide memorials’ cleaning towards commemoration has proved to be comforting especially to genocide survivors who take the activity as restoring value the killers denied the victims.
This is because some 1994 Tutsi genocide survivors take time to clean and plant more flowers around memorial sites as a way of honoring the dead.
Ibrahim Ndori, a genocide survivor in Ruhango district confirms that seeing different people giving a hand in tidying those places towards commemoration gives them hope and happiness.
Among the people that turn up to clean genocide memorial sites include Red Cross Rwanda, students, and local leaders among others.
The vice-mayor for social affairs in Ruhango district, Jolie Germaine Mugeni says the district administration has continuously rendered support to make genocide survivors feel cared for.
