Bussoro in a small village in Rwanda, a few hundred people, mostly farmers. The village is in an area of high geological risk, built near a river. The next day, the village would be destroyed, because of the risk of flooding. Although there is a project of the Rwandan government, called "Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change in north-western Rwanda through Community Based Adaptation (RV3CBA)", under the ministry of Infrastructure, the inhabitants of this small village was not offered any alternative housing or economic compensation . They are simply waiting for the arrival of the bulldozers that will destroy the houses. I decided to document the last day of the village, a tangible sign of climate change and how this can affect people's lives.
