By the end of 1994 in Rwanda, in a programme sponsored by Save the Children Fund UK (SCF) and UNICEF, SCF social workers Rosine Kamagaju (from neighbouring Burundi) and Odette Uzayisenga (who lost her entire family, except one baby daughter, during the civil conflict) work daily to trace the families of the over 600 Rwandan children being cared for at a UNICEF-assisted Belgian Red Cross (ICRC) centre for unaccompanied children in Kigali, the capital. As of November 1994, they have re-united 45 children with their families. The women also visit re-united children to ensure they are adjusting back to family life.
