Restoring peace through sports
Virginie runs for the first time at the Kigali International Peace marathon - and wins.
World Vision began working in Rwanda in 1994, as millions fled after the genocide started. World Vision initially provided emergency help to those displaced, and care for unaccompanied children, and then helped people resettle as they returned home.
Since 2000, World Vision has been working with communities in Rwanda to find long-term solutions to poverty and injustice. As Rwandans are still recovering from Africa’s worst genocide of modern times, World Vision is supporting more than 466,588 people, through 31 long-term, child-focused Area Development Programmes (ADPs).
