Rwanda's population boom!
Rwanda moves to limit family size, Rwanda is planning to
limit couples to no more than three children because of rising poverty in
Africa's most densely populated country.
Rwanda has one of the world's highest birth
rates. The majority are keen to born more children(watoto) to replace the lost
family members during the last 13yrs in 1994 genocide.
The government of Rwanda is making serious
discussion with as many church leaders as
possible hoping to get support for the
mass control.
More than 800,000 Tutsis plus moderate Hutus
were brutaly killed during the 100-day
genocide.
Mr. Paul Kagame is wishing to reduce the birth
rate by half.
The normal average number of children per family is 6.
The Rwanda’s population has quadrupled in the
last years and more than 9 million people , expected to double by 2030.
The International Planned Parenthood
Federation says it is the first time an African government has attempted to set
a limit on the size of families.
Rwanda’s economical growth has a big
challenge of matching with alarming population growth, as small as it is,
Rwanda’s soil has been extensively cultivated and much of its soil is eroded!
Rwanda is the first country in Africa hoping
to start to reduce the birth rate by half, until now the government has not yet
the law and it is still under discussion.
