Rwanda (RWA)

Rwanda, the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills,’ is known for its breathtaking scenery, mountain gorillas, and a remarkable story of reconciliation. Rwandans value family, community, and a deep respect for the land. Christianity is the main faith, with churches central to both spiritual and social life. Many Rwandans also honor traditional beliefs, and spiritual life is often expressed through music, dance, and the annual Kwita Izina gorilla-naming ceremony.
