Gisimba Memorial Center

This painting of Director Damas Gisimba's mother and father hangs on the wall

of the orphanage's office. Damas' father started the orphanage in 1980. Damas Gisimba was a hero during the 1994 genocide. He safe-guarded hundreds of neighbors, strangers, and children who otherwise would have been killed, and he risked his life repeatedly in doing so.
