Today, Rwanda has a popualtion problem. After the Genocide and the Civil War, Rwanda found peace. When the refugees that fled the country heard, they decided to return to Rwanda. The Refugees came from Uganda and Tanzania, two of the neighboring countries of Rwanda. When these people came back, all the house were destroyed, there were no jobs, no food, no education, no hospitals, or water.

During the civil war in 1994, many women were raped by soldiers this causesd AIDs to be spread throughout Rwanda. AIDs right now is the cause many deaths and is speading faster and faster. About 250,00 people in Rwanda has this deathly STD. Right now, the United Sates is trying to the people in Rwanda who have AIDs by sending medication and providing health centers that can help pregant women, who has AIDS, from transfering it to their child.

There are many orphans in Rwanda. Rwnada has the highest orphan rate in the entire world. Many of these orphans parents were killed by the soldiers in the wars and genocide, or because of AIDs. The orphan is off the charts. There are muliple organizations and fundations that are out there to help these orphans. Some of them are Children's Hunger Relief Fund and Orphans of Rwanda.

The issues of this country is not only effect those in their country, but also ours. THe people in our country see the AIDs victims in Rwanda, the shacks they live in, and all the orphans. However there are two types of peolpe in this country. One type is the people who care and donate or volunteer to help those over in Rwanda. And the other type people are the people who see it on television while they are eating their dinners and do nothing about it and get on with their lives.
