The remote islands of Nkombo have for many years been considered “isolated” from the rest of Rwanda not only because it is an island which is not easily accessible but also because of the fact that the people speak a language that is not Kinyarwanda though close in dialect.
From this island located in Rusizi district, in western Rwanda you find long standing issues of polygamy, access to healthcare and education and no signal from Rwanda TV.
