Lake Muhazi, Rwanda

Lake Muhazi, Eastern Province, Rwanda

A view of one of Rwanda’s largest lakes. The ‘land of 1000 hills’ (average elevation 1400+ metres) enjoys high and relatively reliable levels of rainfall. Nevertheless managing the use of water resources carefully is important, in order to cope with episodic periods of drought.

From a set of pro bono photography I did for SPREAD, Rwanda. This USAID funded organisation works to enhance rural enterprise and agribusiness development, assisting Rwanda in deriving as much value from its agricultural produce as possible through the provision of technical assistance.
