Mini Rwanda Baskets
Rwanda is tragically known for the horrific genecide where nearly one million people were killed. After the genecide, females represented 70% of the population since so many men were killed. Women were faced with a decision of either collapsing of inconsolable pain or moving on together to rebuild their lives.
Today widows come together to weave baskets and create economic opportunities. As they sit and weave, they heal in body, mind and soul and position themselves and their families for a more stable future.
The sale of this beautiful, handwoven basket plays an important role in Rwanda's transition.
Basket opens to hold small goodies or a special note.
Dimensions: 4.75 in high x 2.75 in wide
