A Los Angeles nonprofit · Founded 2020
Storytelling as a way of healing.
Kind Kulture was founded by Dydine Umunyana Anderson, a survivor of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi. We are building the Kind Kulture Institute, a permanent home in Los Angeles for survivor testimony and human dignity.
Rwanda is the founding heart. Humanity is the destination.
Kind Kulture is a Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to storytelling as a way of healing, so that kindness, love, hope and empathy prevail.
Dehumanization is learned, and it can be unlearned, one room at a time. Our stories begin in Rwanda and do not end there.

“One’s own life experiences are not theirs to keep, but ours to teach.”

The survivors who carry these stories are aging, and testimony not gathered now is lost. An institution is built by the people who choose to believe in it first.
