Jobs at Aegis Trust

Aegis Trust

About Aegis Social Enterprise: Aegis aims to combat the far-reaching effects genocide has on individuals and communities, effects that continue years after the immediate conflict has ended. As a result of the genocide in Rwanda many survivors were unable to finish school or were left with no jobs to return to. Financial hardships, in addition to serious health problems and trauma associated with the loss of loved ones, continue to create unbearable challenges for survivors even today.
Our Social Enterprises aim to provide immediate income opportunities for those most affected by the genocide, while offering training and support for a sustainable future. A social enterprise is a business that produces both social and financial returns. In our case both the social and financial returns feed directly back into our peace-building work, survivor support and to ensure the sustainability of our Social Enterprises.
Through our Social Enterprises, we offer beneficiaries career opportunities in various industries by providing training in high-demand areas such as tourism, customer care and the culinary arts. We are committed to providing top-level training in skills that will create the best career opportunities for our beneficiaries and generate income to support Aegis’ continued work in Rwanda.
About Aegis Trust: Aegis Trust is a leading genocide and mass atrocity prevention organization and has activities in the UK and Rwanda with strong links in other countries. The mission of Aegis Trust is to work towards the prediction, prevention and ultimately the elimination of genocide, primarily through research, education and the dissemination of information and advice. Aegis partnered with the Kigali City Council to build and operate the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Rwanda which is presently run as a partnership between Aegis Trust and the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide (CNLG). Aegis Social Enterprise generates income to support Peace Building and Social Programmes in Rwanda, operated by Aegis. In addition, the hostel provides training and career opportunities to help uplift lives of vulnerable genocide survivors in Rwanda. www.aegistrust.org.
