We didn't want our new generation and future generations to ever to go through what we have been through. We want to be Rwandans. - Mathilde Mukantabana

Rwanda would have been called a “failed state,” but people refused to surrender to despair.

We designed a roadmap and made transformative choices that are still guiding us today […] that can be summarized in three words: unity, accountability and thinking big.

We do not have to wait for someone to organize us when we are already organized, we should take charge and lead the way and also partner with others as we cross boundaries of race, color and have human solidarity that will help us to promote our cause.
