‘The government in Kigali stands out from amongst
the partners in the East African Community through
a number of things, but for the purpose of this article
particularly in their stand on conservation and
environmental protection.
Some years ago, when the ‘kaveera pest’ swept across
all of Eastern Africa, Rwanda took an unprecedented
step to ban the production, importation and use of
plastic bags and following a short and sharp campaign
the prohibition stuck and is in fact being enhanced
yet more through an amendment to existing law.Other countries in the region bowed to pressure
of well connected industrialists, looked to justify
their diddling and dithering and while marginally. More |

We arrive at the river a little after six thirty in the
morning, a slow drifting steam floats above the
swirling currents of the Nile as it flows downstream
past the ferry crossing at Paraa. Our guide met us
beneath the acacia tree in the parking area and
welcomed us down onto the jetty and into our
waiting boat. The air was cool and it felt really
beautiful to enjoy the coolness of morning before
the sun warmed up the air as we pushed off from
the jetty a few minutes before seven and the skipper
angled his craft downstream toward the delta.This was it, I have lived in Uganda a good number of
years now and been in Murchison Falls National Park
several times to enjoy the waterfall cruise and even
the walk up to the Top of the Falls, but I had never
taken the opportunity.................. More |

We had often heard of Nyungwe Forest Lodge being
a 5 star establishment. A 5 star establishment in
Nyungwe National Park. How exciting. My wife and
I decided we must go and try it out. And so we made
reservations through Primate Safaris and drove to
Nyungwe Forest.
The drive is not long from Kigali, it took us approx.
3 hours and most of the road is really good. We left
in the morning and our plan was to be there for
lunch. The lodge is just a few kilometres from the
main road and the access road leading up to the
lodge from the main road is also good. Definitely
saloon car accessible if anyone does not have access
to a four wheel drive. More |

The Msaada development agency was established
in England in 2005 to help the people of Rwanda to
restore their dignity and their livelihoods that were
destroyed during the horrific genocide in 1994 by
establishing self-help income-generating projects.
It funds agricultural projects that assist widows and
orphans of the genocide to become self sufficient.
Msaada supports profit-making projects run by the
Rwandans themselves, that fund a range of physical
and psychological care and legal advice to widows
and orphans still suffering from injustice and trauma
after the dreadful events of 1994, and, primary,
secondary, More |

Although its prevalence in Rwanda is not accurately
known, hearing loss can have a devastating impact in
the lives of those that are affected. The World Health
Organisation has stated that hearing impairment is the
most frequent sensory deficit in human populations,
affecting more than an estimated 250 million people
in the world and middle ear infections rate as the most
common form of childhood illness.
One of the reasons hearing loss may be more common
than you think, is that it is a hidden impairment and
often one which is undiagnosed or misunderstood.
Children with hearing loss are routinely assumed to be
lacking in intelligence,................. More |
