Learning from the past...
Building peace in the present...
Countering the risk of mass atrocities in the future.
Many activities. One purpose.
Aegis undertakes activities across a wide spectrum. Some are centred around genocide remembrance and education; some around research, evidence-based policy advice and advocacy; some around helping survivors and affected communities rebuild a society resilient to the risk of repetition. The diversity of our activities is driven by a singular focus on the prevention of genocide through whatever avenue is necessary in a given case. Doctors do not work to save lives from disease through primary, secondary or tertiary measures alone; we apply the same principle to saving lives from genocide. To learn more about the Aegis approach, take a look at our starting-point.
Memorial
Final resting-place for 250,000 victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, The Kigali Genocide Memorial was established by Aegis in 2004 at the request of the Rwandan authorities.
Community leaders from CAR, Kenya and South Sudan have witnessed Aegis’ success in Rwanda and asked us to help them build peace in their own countries.
