Legacy Mission Village was founded in 2000 in Nashville, Tennessee by William and Ebraile Mwizerwa, survivors of the Rwandan Genocide, to help refugees resettle in the US and support communities in East Africa. It has partnerships with churches and organizations in Nashville to assist refugees with services like English classes, job training, and connecting with local churches. In Africa, Legacy Mission Village works to restore lives through health, education, and community development programs, including supporting HIV+ families and funding education and health insurance.
