Ubumwe Community Visit: Walking or Cycling tour
In part owing to the 1994 genocide, Rwanda has a disproportionate number of physically and mentally disabled people. Most have no option but to live as street beggars.
The Ubumwe Center is a place where adults with disabilities and their children are given an alternative; where they can be educated, learn skills, work and ultimately take control of their own lives. The Ubumwe Center serves more than 130 children and adults with counseling, primary education, vocational training and workshop employment. It provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment for local children who are both healthy or have a disability. During this tour you may even wish to combine your educational visit with some practical work with both adults and children.
