 media type="custom" key="3711539" ==The Imbabazi Orphanage by Courtney and Sadé. The Imbabazi Orphanage was founded by Rasamond Halsey Carr in 1994. It is headquartered in Mugongo, but has switched locations due to violence multiple times. Its purpose is to provide refuge and hope to hundreds of traumatized Rwandan children. The vast number of orphans is a result of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. It caters only to the children of Rwanda by addressing the lack of homes for Rwandan children. The orphanage takes donations only in order to pay for its resources, structures, and care items needed to establish a healthy refuge for the kids. == 


====The orphanage has received great reviews. A successful woman from America left her whole life behind so that she could help the children of Rwanda at the orphanage. On a scale of one to ten we rate this organization eight because it is worthwhile, and very useful to anyone that seeks a home there, especially in the kind of condition and crisis their country's people are in. If generous individuals did not give money, many Rwandan children would be living on the streets with nowhere to go. Doing this motivates people everywhere to not just help out in Rwanda but all over the world. ====

Here is a touching performance of a song called "Million Voices" by Wyclef Jean(bottom). It includes a Rwandan children's chior.SPACE On top is the same song but includes clips from the movie Hotel Rwanda.

Rwanda: The Country's Facts Rwanda is a small country near Uganda. The genocide there has left many children without a home or family. They are very rich in diversity. The main religions are roman Catholic, Protestant, Adventist, and Muslim. Ethnicity consist of Hutu and Tutsi. They have many people without jobs or homes. The Rwandan Genocide caused many people pain and is the top reason why there are so many orphanages and shelters in and around Rwanda. It was a massacre of many Tutsi people by the Hutu Rebels. It left many people separated, lost and alone. Rwanda is beginning to recover, though. The population is growing again and the number of homeless kids is very slowly dwindling, because of the efforts of donators and volunteers that help. The population density is high for such a small country. It has caused a problem in resource availability and space. But because of the country's many native crops and natural resources, this has not become a large problem. Literacy rate is also growing in Rwanda, which is a great accomplishment in a small, African country. Rwanda is nowhere near being economically stable after the genocide, but they are pulling through with the help of other people around the world.
