KIGALI, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- In the lush landscapes of the Rambura sector, Nyabihu district in the Western Province of Rwanda, tea picking has evolved beyond a mere profession; it has become a lifeline for individuals like Marceline Mukamana, a resilient single mother of three.

"I work as a tea picker, and picking tea serves as my primary source of income. It enables me to cover health insurance expenses and purchase essential items such as food, clothes for my children, and other household necessities," Mukamana told Xinhua in an interview recently.
