We are very pleased to be able to offer for sale baskets, bags and cards which are hand-made by widows in the dioceses of Byumba and Gasabo in Rwanda. As well as producing these goods for sale, the times of working together enable the widows to chat and share in the joys and heartaches of everyday life. This is a crucial part of coping with the pressures they experience as widows. |

We are currently working with two partners: PHARP (Peace-building, Healing And Reconciliation Programme) which is based in the diocese of Gasabo, and Hannah Ministry which is in the diocese of Byumba. Baskets, bags and cards are sold here in the UK and the money raised supports the ongoing work of our partners. |

Cards are available now through our on-line shop, All cards are hand-made using natural materials and ingredients, including banana leaf fibres and flower petals. The different shades of colour result from the drying process and the glue is made using cassava roots mixed with hot water.
Baskets and bags (plus cards) will only be available at live events (church services/fairs, craft markets, etc.).
