Healing Our Communities: Promoting Social Cohesion in Rwanda was carried out by a partnership
of Karuna Center for Peacebuilding, Aegis Trust, Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities, and
Institute of Research for Dialogue and Peace.
This “People to People” reconciliation activity was funded through USAID’s Conflict Mitigation
and Reconciliation Programs and Activities (Global Reconciliation Fund). The original period of
performance was July 14, 2016 through July 13, 2018. USAID generously offered a cost extension
for a third year, with some activities modifications, and subsequently granted a no-cost
extension, bringing the project closing date to October 31, 2019.
The project was active in Western, Southern, Northern, and Eastern provinces. It took place in 16
communities within Nyamasheke, Karongi, Rubavu, Gisagara, Gakenke, Gicumbi, Kirehe, and
Bugesera Districts.
