Born out of a need for mutual respect, peace and accountability in Rwandan communities, UMUHUZA seeks to build a safe and healthy society for local people.

UMUHUZA envisions a society in which communities live in harmony, mutual respect and dignity. It undertakes the task of promoting a culture of peace through non-violent conflict management and respect for human rights.

This organisation aims to be a service and training centre in peaceful conflict management, a listening and advisory framework for victims of violence and a platform for the facilitation of frank dialogues within communities.
