Stories of loss, resilience as I&M Bank honours 26 staff killed in Genocide
I&M Bank Rwanda Plc joined the nation in commemorating the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, which claimed more than one million lives in 100 days, by paying tribute to the victims, including its 26 former employees killed when the institution operated as Banque Commerciale du Rwanda (BCR).
The event held on Friday, April 17, reflected on loss, resilience, and the Bank’s continued support to survivors and their families.
The commemoration brought together families of victims, survivors, staff, and officials. It began at the Bank’s Kigali headquarters, where a monument honours 26 former employees killed during the Genocide—a number that continues to rise as more names are identified. Wreaths and flowers were laid in their memory by members of the victims’ families and the bank’s leaders.
