ASOFERWA’S BACKGROUND INFO

By the 1994 genocide against Tutsi, Rwanda was stricken by a misfortune, which plunged the whole country in disastrous situation with various socio-economic consequences. To react accordingly, in September 1994, a group of 30 Rwandan women established an association that they named: ’’ASOFERWA’’ Association de Solidarité des Femmes Rwandaises or Rwandan women Association for Solidarity with the purpose of helping and intervening to vulnerable groups.
