NOEL NYUNDO ORPHANAGE<\/span><\/p>\n

Gisenyi, Rwanda<\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Noel Nyundo Orphanage became the largest child institution in Rwanda. Its modest numbers were drastically changed by the massive human losses during the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi and the county\u2019s civil unrest of the 1990\u2019s.<\/p>\n

For hundreds of children, particularly orphaned by the wars, the Noel became their only home and family. Babies grew to adulthood knowing no other way of life. After 64 years, the Noel closed Christmas 2014.<\/p>\n

This site is a memory for them. It\u2019s not about individual children, staff, fundraisers or donors, it\u2019s about the place itself \u2026. a place where those who lived there will forever call it home.<\/p>\n<\/div>
