Survivors Fund
Survivors Fund (or SURF), founded in 1997, represents and supports survivors of the Rwandan genocide in the United Kingdom and Rwanda. It is the only international charity with a specific remit to assist survivors of the Rwandan genocide, and has offices in London and Kigali. It is registered with the Charity Commission.
The charity supports projects for survivors in Rwanda in the fields of education, healthcare, shelter, justice and memory. It is currently raising awareness of the threat to survivors resulting from the release of prisoners through gacaca.
==Founder: Mary Kayitesi Blewitt==
Survivors Fund was founded by Mary Kayitesi Blewitt, a British Citizen of Rwandan origin, at the behest of survivors after losing 50 family members during the genocide in 1994. At the end of the genocide in July 1994, Blewitt volunteered for the Ministry of Rehabilitation in Rwanda, working for eight months helping to bury the dead and to support the survivors. This formative experience inspired her to set up Survivors Fund on her return to the UK to ensure that survivors received aid, assistance and support, and that their voices would be heard by people around the world.
Her work has meant that she has received numerous awards such as 'Woman of the year' and appointment as an OBE.
