As a prelude to the publication of our Annual Report 2024/25, we feature from it a message from the Chief Executive of Survivors Fund (SURF), Samuel Munderere:

2024 has been a year of hope and resilience. Despite the ongoing challenges faced by survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, we have continued to witness incredible strength and determination among the community we serve. Through our collaborative efforts with our partners, supporters, and, most importantly, the survivors themselves, we have made meaningful progress in our mission.

This year, we have expanded our psychosocial support services, reached more second-generation survivors, and deepened our commitment to economic empowerment, ensuring survivors have the tools and opportunities to build sustainable livelihoods and lead change in their own communities.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our donors, whose unwavering generosity makes our work possible. Your belief in our mission fuels every step forward. To our dedicated staff—your passion, professionalism, and tireless commitment are the backbone of our achievements. Thank you for going above and beyond to support survivors every day.

The journey of healing and rebuilding is ongoing. As we reflect on our achievements and challenges in 2024, we remain committed to a future where every survivor is heard, supported, and able to thrive.

Thank you for your unwavering support.

With gratitude,

Samuel Munderere, Chief Executive
