AERG

AERG (Association des Etudiants Et Éleves Rescapés Du Genocide) is an association of student survivors of genocide created in 1996 at the National University of Rwanda.

Run by students for students, its main mission is to connect and represent all student survivors (those whose parents and relatives were killed during Tutsi genocide) involved in higher learning or attending secondary school.

It is dedicated to providing financial support, moral help, fighting genocide ideology and ensuring that students overcome trauma, homelessness and financial problems.

AERG is represented nationally at 27 universities and institutes of higher learning and 300 secondary schools in Rwanda, with a total countrywide membership of 43,397.
