Historical Background

HVP GATAGARA

Background

The Home of the Virgin of the Poor, born on the hill of Gatagara, will gradually develop on different sites in Rwanda. In Gikondo and Ndera (Kigali), in Nyanza, Butare (Huye), Ruhango and Rwamagana. The name of HVP Gatagara has been retained for each of the locations. Initially planned to take care of the physically handicapped, the Home gradually developed to accommodate the blind, the deaf-mute and the mentally handicapped.

Main Objectives

The main objective of HVP Gatagara is to promote Persons with Disabilities and provide quality orthopaedic care and education for Children with Disabilities. This care will allow People with Disabilities to experience a better quality of life and well-being while at the same time facilitate their reintegration process.

Location
We are located on a hill, 100 km from Kigali. It provides care and rehabilitation for physically handicapped children. Since 2018, the center has been recognized by the Ministry of Health as a Hospital specializing in orthopedics and Rehabilitation.
