Why are CWB in Rwanda?
Rwanda on the whole is developing well, with a strong government led by the hugely popular Paul Kagame, so why should CWB be helping out? The country is still relatively poor, with a GDP per capita of $1,284 (UK has $35,000) and perhaps more pertinently has 170,000 people living with HIV with 22,000 of these being children under 14 and 130,000 orphans due to AIDS . Although the prevalence level of 2.4% is relatively low (Botswana is 24.8% for example) this is due to the lack of testing in the country and in reality the rate is likely to be a lot higher. There is a huge amount CWB can do to lower this level and raise awareness amongst young and old, whilst having a lot of fun playing the game we love!
