Survivors Fund (SURF) was founded by Mary Kayitesi Blewitt OBE, a British citizen of Rwandan origin. Mary lost over 50 members of her family in the genocide and helped establish the first survivors' organisations in Rwanda working for the Rwandan Ministry of Rehabilitation from July 1994. On her return to the UK in 1995 she began to support survivors through establishing SURF, registering the organisation in the UK as a charity (No. 1065705) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 03411565)... Survivors Fund (SURF) is marking its 25th Anniversary in 2022. Over that time, we have been able to deliver support to thousands of survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This short video sets out just some of the numbers of those that we have impacted... Survivors Fund (SURF) works with survivor's organisations to develop, manage, monitor, evaluate, fundraise and advocate for restorative justice programmes to rebuild the lives and empower survivors of the Rwandan genocide.
