Rwanda/ Kenya: Bringing Families Together

Godeberthe Ugirumufata strides into her office at the ICRC headquarters in Nairobi exuding the confidence of a woman who has finally found her peace and place in the society. 10 years ago, Ugirumufata thought she had lost everything in the Rwanda genocide: her son, her parents and siblings. She narrowly escaped death and fled to Kenya penniless, confused and scared. Ugirumufata, however, found happiness in Nairobi, got re-united with her family and got a job working with refugees that has given her life a new purpose.
