Rwanda Peace Basket-Medium
hbr4591
Rwanda Peace Baskets are woven by the women of the Kinigi Weavers Association, in a small village near Volcanoes National Park. Each basket is hand-crafted from sisal and consists of literally hundreds of stitches. The patterns of these baskets tell ancient stories and now stand as symbols of peace and reconciliation in a country rebuilding itself after the genocide. Ethically-sourced, the sale of these baskets provide sustainable income for Rwandans while conserving the habitat of Rwandan mountain gorillas.
