Rwanda’s Genocide Orphans 2 Still Struggling
GIPOROSA, RWANDA — The Rwandan genocide left behind an estimated 400,000 orphans. Some, now adults, found refuge in the Kigali slum Giporoso. Aid organizations raise money for Giporoso’s genocide survivors 3 with street performances, but their problems remain overwhelming.
“My name is Negenzi Ali. I’m 23-years-old. Since 1997 I was in this Giporoso, alone, because I am orphan 1 from Genocide. Have no dad, no mum, no sisters," said Ali.
“I decided 4 to be a tattoo 5 maker," he said. "Sometimes I made [for] the guys who need tattoo for genocide: ‘Never Again’.”
“When they make the tattoo and some guys decide to give me drugs …
… or sex.”
“My name is ‘Janet Jackson’," said Kayitesi Jeannette.
“Guys here in Giborosa , most of them are infected with HIV. My name is Kuitonda David. I am 24-years-old. I’m orphan by genocide.
"I work here, on pool table [hall]. Sometimes my friends are upset when they haven’t anywhere to sleep. I accept and I bring them home," he said.
“Also the gangsters 6 who killed people to take their materials, doing like that," said Ali.
“I am Shakoul. I am after [more than] 20-years-old. I am editor in cinematography. And I try to work hard to make evolution because our country is needing people who can try to work hard. I like this picture because it reminds me, where we was, where we come from," he said.
“Sometimes, I used to pray in my room because I have many things I have to ask my God," said David.
“I beg my Allah to give me one million dollars to help the children I see on the streets," said Ali.
