Child Care and Education “Umwana Mwiteho”

SEVOTA (Solidarité pour l’Épanouissement des Veuves et des Orphelins visant le Travail et l’Autopromotion) was founded in 1994 by social worker and genocide survivor Godelieve Mukasarasi. Emerging from the support of genocide survivors, its work today focuses on disadvantaged youth, women with experience of violence and orphaned families. SEVOTA supports 125 groups with 1,778 families in eleven districts of Rwanda. The focus is on trauma management, peacebuilding and economic participation. In 62 youth clubs with almost 1,900 participants, the organisation strengthens commitment, resilience and personal responsibility – for sustainable perspectives in regions marked by violence.
