Mountain in Rwanda



Rwanda is a very small country but it is covered in thousands of mountains, like this one. Notice how the hill side is cultivated in rows of crops. With nearly nine million people in a 10,000 square mile country, very little land is left uncultivated. People live together in small communities. Very few of them live on the mountain sides where they farm. But each family has their plot of land on the mountain slope and they walk to their "farm" daily to tend to crops so their family will have food to eat and sell.
