.rw is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Rwanda.
[edit] 2nd Level Domains
Registration is permitted directly at the second level, unlike some other ccTLDs where registrations are at the third level beneath categorized labels. However, some of the second-level domains that could be used for third-level registrations parallel to other TLDs are reserved by the registry, although they are not offering registrations within them.
