Foundation Stones is a project which invites people across the UK to paint a stone in remembrance of those murdered in the Holocaust, and subsequent genocides in Bosnia, Cambodia, Darfur and the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

These stones gathered from across the country will become part of the new UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. The 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda will form part of the exhibition in the Learning Centre. The painted stones will represent a commitment from communities to learn from the past and to build a future free from all forms of prejudice, discrimination and hatred.

During the current 100 day commemorative period for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Survivors Fund (SURF) and our supporters are invited to paint a stone to mark Kwibuka26 and contribute to 100 stones to mark the 100 days. You can share your stones online using #Kwibuka26 and #FoundationStonesAtHome
