Kirushya


Kirushya is one of 17 wards/divisions of Ngara District, in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. It is located near Burundi and Rwanda. The name itself comes from a word for "tedious"; the area is largely a dry hill, and the scarcity of water forced residents to travel long distances for resupply. Such a journey is tedious, hence the name. In the 2017 government plans, 41% of Kirushya's population had clean water.
In 2016 the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics report there were 12,062 people in the ward, from 10,628 in 2012.
