  • Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
    Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
    by Immaculee Ilibagiza

    Recommended By: Eli

    A deeply spiritual memoir about how one woman survived the 1994 genocide. It is amazing to read how she came to forgive her killers, even while they were seeking her out. It is also a fabulous reflection on Rwandan culture and Rwandan people. 

  • Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles
    Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles
    by Richard Dowden

— Go to the People, Live with them, Love them, Learn from them, Work with them, Start with what they have, Build on what they know, And, in the end, When the work is done, the people will rejoice, And, they will say, “We have done it ourselves.” —

Lao Tzu – China 700 B.C.E.

The Musanze District

Located in the Northern Province, Musanze is Rwanda's most mountainous district, containing the largest part of the Volcanoes National Park.  Five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga chain (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Sabyinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura) are within the district boundaries. The district is also one of the most densely populated.

Musanze is divided into 15 sectors:  Busogo, Cyuve, Gacaca, Gashaki, Gataraga, Kimonyi, Kinigi, Muhoza, Muko, Musanze, Nkotsi, Nyange, Remera, Rwaza and Shingiro.

WWHIPS works in close cooperation with Musanze District officials in the operation of the Shingiro Health Centre. This partnership is essential to the success of the CCHIPs initiative and we hope to continue to develop a positive relationship in the future.
