RWANDA:   What does the future hold for this daughter of a poor Rwandan farmer? After surviving the genocide, and being given a single cow, the mother and her family have been slowly rebuilding their lives with the help of an Opportunity micro loan as a subsistence dairy farmer. Life is hard as all the water and food for the cow must be brought in manually each day on a bicycle or by walking under the burden of heavy water containers for a great distance. Still, there is optimism about the future. The single cow, who is female, has given birth to three additional cows, two of which are being raised by her. The opportunity for productivity improvements are great, and there is hope for the future. —Fred, Insight Trip Traveller, Hillsborough, CA
