Progress in Rwanda's drive to slow population growth.

摘要

Rwanda is a place where the notion that people could control how many children they had was once so alien that parents would name their children Harerimana, or God will raise him. It is not uncommon in this predominantly Catholic country for people to have more than ten brothers and sisters. So when Jannette Mukagisagara, a 44-year-old mother of five children, says "when you have fewer children you can feed them, clothe them and even educate them", it is exactly what the Rwandan Government wants to hear.
