| Cari Clement travels regularly to Rwanda, the most densely populated country in Africa, to teach women to use donated knitting machines. Income from knitted goods helps them support their families. Already a poor, rural country at the time of the civil war in 1990, the genocide of 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994 destroyed Rwanda’s fragile economy, severely impoverished the population (particularly women), and eroded the country’s ability to attract private and external investment. |
