Umunsi w'Abasangirambere

The day honoring rural women, who produce over 70% of Rwanda's food. The Ministry of Agriculture runs training events, and cooperatives showcase their products. The AHA: Rwandan women can now legally inherit land : a change made after the genocide that transformed the economy. Women who lost husbands in the genocide were the first to claim land, and they built the rural economy back from nothing.
