UNESCO Thousands of Rwandans from the District of Rubavu have been left homeless in recent years by flooding and landslides caused by exceptionally heavy rains. In March this year, Noeline Raondry Rakotoarisoa from UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme travelled to Rwanda’s Western Province to see for herself how far rehabilitation had progressed in one of the worst-hit areas, Mount Rubavu; 15 months earlier, UNESCO had financed a tree-planting course for 70 demobilized soldiers, many of them women. |
