Overview

Mission

Rural rwandan development via global market links. We particpate in the efforts of rural rwandans to develop themselves, their families, and their communities. Our primary work is in supporting craftspeople. We offer guidance on product design & selection and purchase their crafts at a fair price. Then in the us, products are marketed and sold so that we can continue to provide new income generation opportunities to the rwandan artisans and support other community development initiatives such as adult literacy. Market connections are another part of our work. We connect global customers who then buy crafts in bulk directly from rwanda. This is pursued by participation in the fair trade federation, via our website and by using social media. We also support the community where the artisans live through impact projects such as adult literacy classes, beekeeper training, renewable resource projects, and support of vulnerable people - food, housing, medical, and education.

What it reported doing in 2025
