Story

These beautiful baskets from Rwanda make wonderful accents for your home, and we’re delighted to showcase them as well as support women business owners who are empowering themselves through commerce. Betty Habimana, whose shop in Rwanda makes the baskets, is a success story, having worked with the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women (IEWW) and participated in their Peace through Business initiative, a training program designed to provide long-term business education to women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan and Rwanda. I find the program so inspiring, I’ve arranged to mentor one of the women in our New York office this summer. -JG
