A Nightmare That Keeps Returning. We're Here to Ease the Pain in the Final Moments.

Rwanda

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent, and the most densely populated one. There are around 463 inhabitants per 1km2 here! Due to its natural landscape, Rwanda is sometimes referred to as a land of a thousand hills, and due to its history, also a land of a thousand problems.

Overview:
  • around 12 million inhabitants
  • in 1994, it was a place of genocide – in 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi tribe were murdered, 2 million escaped from the country
  • agricultural country – farming generates about 63% of income from export (including coffee, tea, bananas)

Christine screams at night, haunted by her nightmares. As April 7th approaches, she curls up into a ball and stays that way for the next week. 30 years ago, she lost everyone. Her husband, children, even neighbors. Memories tear the healed wounds wide open. The same thing repeats, year after year.

In early April, the air here becomes thick with humidity. The sound of rain and screams. Except now, Christine hears the screams only in her head. Just as vivid, just as terrifying.

Exactly 30 years ago, on April 7, 1994, the genocide in Rwanda began.

“Hell is empty today. All the devils are in Rwanda,” said one of the missionaries, a witness to those events.

We’re not here to dwell on evil. Good Factory is about transforming despair into hope. Here, for 11 years, the Sisters of Angels have been doing just that, running the country’s first and only hospice.

We can’t cure death, but we can fight to ensure that people in the terminal stages of AIDS or cancer don’t die from hunger or in pain. There’s been enough suffering here!

Thank you for every day of care you’ve donated through GoodWorks24/7 for patients in our hospice.

We need to dry out the buildings as quickly as possible

Urgent help for flood victims

The most vulnerable are the elderly and disabled, living in remote rural areas and small towns, where reaching them is difficult. You’ll be informed about every penny spent to help them. 100% of the funds raised will go directly towards targeted, precise aid tailored to the needs of those affected.
