Angelina Jolie went to meet Gikomero residents in Gasabo District.
Jolie posted about her visit on her Instagram and she wrote, "I recently visited the Imboni Cooperative — a farm in Gikomero, Rwanda, run collectively by the women who work the land — and left deeply inspired by everyone I met there".
Jolie discovered that the women had spent years cultivating leased swamp areas to provide for their families, earning less than a dollar daily and enduring frequent crop losses caused by excessive rainfall.
She continue, "It was a deeply meaningful visit, and we're grateful for the time they spent with us".
"It was a strong reminder that local leadership is always the best way forward".
