The Aegis Trust works in countries where people are at risk of mass atrocities, or still confronting a legacy of genocide. We also work in countries where decision-makers have significant international reach.

Aegis is headquartered in the UK, where it developed from the work of the National Holocaust Centre. Our largest presence however is in Rwanda, where in 2004 we were responsible for establishing the Kigali Genocide Memorial. We also have offices in the United States.
