Rebuilding The Nation

In the wake of the devastating 1994 genocide against the Tutsis, Rwanda has risen from the ashes, transforming itself from a failed state to a beacon of progress admired by nations worldwide.

Join us for a powerful presentation by Lama Mugabo as he shares the remarkable story of Rwanda's recovery. Discover how Rwandans harnessed homegrown solutions and traditional knowledge — long overlooked by colonial powers — to rebuild their society, reclaim their heritage, and create a prosperous, progressive nation. This talk, originally designed for senior social work students, is open to the public.
