Flag & Coat of Arms of Rwanda
The Republic of Rwanda is a small landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of east-central Africa, bordered by Uganda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. Home to approaching 10 million people, Rwanda supports the densest population in continental Africa, most of whom engage in subsistence agriculture. A verdant country of fertile and hilly terrain, the small republic bears the title “Land of a Thousand Hills” (French: Pays des Mille Collines; Kinyarwanda: Igihugu cy’Imisozi Igihumbi).
The country has received considerable international attention due to its 1994 genocide, in which between 800,000 and one million people were killed.[3] In 2008, Rwanda became the first country in history to elect a national legislature in which a majority of members were women.[4] Three quarters of the population live below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.[5]

Can anyone help me with information about housing in that area?
Thank you!
