Properties and Assets of Abambari b'Urukundo Organization

Introduction.

The Organization, "Abambari b'Urukundo", is deeply rooted in the Diocese of Butare, particularly in the parish of Mugombwa. This serves as a spiritual hub for their activities. Additionally, they are actively present in the parishes of Kirarambogo and Magi, which were once part of the central parish of Mugombwa.

The congregation's activities involve various apostolates, including teaching at the parish nursery school, taking care of the Parish Sacristy, teaching catechesis, and supporting the less fortunate. They have established an institute called "Santa Annibale" where mentally disabled children receive day-and-night care, education, and support. "Casa Sant'Annibale" is the place where these children reside, offering them a nurturing home.
