The centre is located at a historical site "Ku kirenge cya Ruganzu",literally the foot-of-RUGANZU in Rulindo District, precisely 25 kilometers from Kigali along Kigali-Musanze main road.
The narratives say that when Ruganzu II Ndori, together with his troops arrived in this area, they ran out of drinking water. King Ruganzu II Ndori stood on a rock and drew his feet, took a bow and arrow and shot at the mountain in front of him, a stream emerged from it, and his troops found water to drink. That river is no longer there because it was destroyed during the construction of the Kigali - Musanze asphalt road, around 1980.
