Core offering

IBUKA is a non-governmental survivor umbrella organization that operates an integrated service portfolio for genocide survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Its core offerings include a network of seven national memorial sites, four program directorates covering memory/justice, youth/education, health/livelihood, and reconciliation, as well as donation, volunteer, and commemorative event programs. The organization also collects survivor testimonies, maintains historical archives, and engages in advocacy against genocide denial and for survivor justice.

Product overview

IBUKA is a non-profit survivor organization (not a technology company) offering a comprehensive suite of memorial, advocacy, and support services. The organization operates through four directorates—AHEZA (Memory, Justice, Resilience & Peace Building), ISHAMI (Youth, Education, Culture & Sports), BAHO (Health, Livelihood & Gender Promotion), and ITERAMBERE—alongside a network of memorial sites, testimonial/story collection platforms, volunteer programs, and donation mechanisms. The offering is structured as an integrated service portfolio rather than a software product platform.
