    The cyclists of Burundi have a dangerous job. First of all, they’re completely mad and second they can compete with any adrenaline junkie earning a boatload for their antics. These guys barely scrape by yet they persevere and defy fate with their racing ways while transporting lots of bananas and other unwieldy stuff you’d normally use a truck for. Nope. These guys do it all on bikes.
    And these cyclists are a vital factor for Burundi’s economy. Bicycles are the main means of transportation in one of the smallest countries in Africa. Bananas, the staple food in Burundi, are transported from the markets to a banana beer brewing factory.

I myself bought a chinese screwdriver whose plastic handle shattered in my hand in the first time I would use it. I hope that change as soon as possible, and of course there must be many other chinese products whit good quality. Let's pray for those bikes being of this kind.

The nation has very young and energetic working population so the nation will grow faster and their living standards will be developed soon. God Bless the nation of Burundi and it's people.

    What I've observed in almost all of the documentaries that I've viewed so far is that regardless how hard these people's lives are and how they feel about the quality of their lives in every intervals the sanctions of family 👪 is always spoken with such importance,it goes to show how gravely important family is no matter what life brings them...This has got to be the most beautiful thing ever ❤️

Mothers in Africa would’ve been the richest, they did hardly sleep working daily and earns so little. Lotta works get no futures in here bro.
