Efforts to sell their baskets, including a deal with Macy's, have received attention: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/11/garden/11rwanda.html?pagewanted=print, http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-73229930.html, http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LH&s_site=kentucky&p_multi=LH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=114D76A163AECFB8&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM.

This http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/3521844.stm story largely focuses on on the of founders.  A lot of the short references to the organization are quite informative (e.g., http://books.google.com/books?id=7c2LHlpdMfAC&lpg=PA30&dq=%22Association%20of%20Genocide%20Widows%22%20OR%20%22Avega-Agahozo%22%20OR%20%22Association%20des%20Veuves%20du%20Genocide%22&pg=PA30#v=onepage&q=%22Association%20of%20Genocide%20Widows%22%20OR%20%22Avega-Agahozo%22%20OR%20%22Association%20des%20Veuves%20du%20Genocide%22&f=false their entry in the Dictionary of Genocide).  Phil Bridger's source looks really good too.  There's more than enough verifiable information in very good (often academic) sources to write an encyclopedia article.  I believe there's a  issue here; while this level of coverage might be borderline for an American or European organization, it's rather impressive for an organization in Francophone Africa
