TRIVET RWANDA BEIGE GREEN #1

Artist info

Our Rwanda baskets are handmade with passion and patience by Talking Through Art, a Kigali-based association of more than 80 women with disabilities following the Rwandan genocide.

Founded in 2015, TTA helps these women use their traditional basketry know-how to earn an income. The association also offers art therapy, English courses, family planning and other life skills courses, all with the aim of building the confidence and self-esteem of its members, and help them become independent and active participants in Rwandan society.

The association also supports more than 50 children whose parents are disabled because it believes in education as a key to a better life and giving these children more opportunities to support their parents in adulthood.

We are particularly honoured to work with TTA, whose approach touches us deeply. Each of your purchases helps to strengthen the struggle of these women and improve their living conditions.
