These caves are located close to Mrs. Carr’s property, a few meters from the mudende sector office. Mrs. Rosamond Halsey Carr was the first American Citizen to settle in Rwanda, in 1949. She managed a flower plantation. She witnessed Rwanda’s independence and was a friend to Dr. Dian Fossey and she left Rwanda for some time during the 1994 genocide. When she returned home she turned the farm into an orphanage and named it Imbabazi of Mubende, which takes care of and shelters displaced children and genocide orphans.
The Imbabazi orphanage was constructed after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, and most of the children in this home are victims of the genocide. Any one planning a holiday in Rwanda can spare some hours with these children in Imbabazi orphanage and give them something you can afford.
