Introduction
The Congregation, "Abambari b'Urukundo", is deeply rooted in the Diocese of Butare, particularly in the parish of Mugombwa — wherein Mugombwa serves as a spiritual hub for its activities. It is also 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.

MAGI AND KIRARAMBOGO NEED YOUR HELP!
Property of Magi
The Covent of Magi need urgent repairs and construction to be done. The property shown on the left is where the mentally handicap children, learn, eat, play and sleep.
​
In the image on the left, the rocks on which the Mother Superior [Sr. Marie Goretti] is sitting have been placed there to prevent rain water from leaking into the building.
​
The dirt wall in front of her poses a safety hazard of collapsing. The Convent of Magi would appreciate your support to help fix these issues which are of great concern to the sisters and children that live there. For the sake of their safety and the continuation of their mission, please consider donating to help the cause.
Property of Kirarambogo
This is the residence of the Convent in Kirarambogo and the home of the Mother Superior. This is a larger building than Magi with two levels.
As seen in the photo it has uncompleted doors, with ply wood placed to provide some privacy, and to ward off intruders. The outside stairs connecting the two are uncompleted and pose a serious hazard of collapsing.
