Rwanda
The series of images were made during my first week in Rwanda while on assignment for a Canadian NGO.
The locations are near the town of Gisenyi and Ruhengeri.
Since the genocide in 1994, although slow in progress, Rwanda has come a long way in rebuilding its social and cultural structure. It is seen by many as an example of how an African nation could develop relative civil and economical stability after years of struggle to overcome conflicts between ethnic groups. However, the country is still among the poorest in the continent and much of its population is living in extreme poverty.
