In the aftermath of its violent history, today’s Rwanda has accomplished significant political, social, and economic progress to prevent another atrocity like the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and moderate Hutu. As the survivors of the 1994 genocide work hard to move on from the traumas of the past, it is the sole responsibility of the new generation to break the cycle of victimization and build a stable foundation from the aftershock of its violent history. Many youth suffer from psychological distresses and difficult life conditions that prevent them from obtaining an appropriate education and maximizing their potential. Rwanda desperately needs a catalyst on its path to educational opportunity and economic stability. Mentoring programs meeting the needs of vulnerable youth can be this catalyst, yet they are minimal in quantity and severely underdeveloped. In October of 2012, I connected with a Rwandan Clinical Psychologist, Isaïe Mihigo. Harnessing our research, education, and experiences working with vulnerable youth in our respective countries, we co-founded “Bright Future Generation”.
