Her brother was found by a gang and his leg slashed with a machete. Alice escaped to Kabagayi and sought refuge in a Catholic church, where nuns placed her in an orphange. In Kabgayi, she witnessed refugees being beaten by Interahamwe. Alice relates how life was challenging in Kabgayi: many people died of hunger while others contracted cholera or dysentery.
