Burundi, Nyagashiha Akawa

Nyagashiha washing station is one of many wet mills that form the Akawa project, created to help farmers escape the cycle of poverty. Located 86km south of the capital Bujumbura, Nyagashiha is surrounded by steep valleys where most of the land is used by farmer communities.
