The Avega widows, adoptive mothers to the orphans of the genocide
 
At the end of a meeting of one of Avega’s section from the province of Gisenyi (North-West) in the district of Cyanzadrwe, the local members and national leaders who have made the journey from Kigali, joined by a few villagers, gather around a newly built memorial, its construction was encouraged by the association. Avega is leader regarding the coordination of the victims and plays a major role in the exhuming process, still on-going, as well as in the erecting of memorial sites.
