Our first school opened in Nkuzuzu in July 2019 thanks to the contributions and efforts of many people. We have now built a second school.
Our newest preschool will also serve as a training facility for East African college students! Learn more.
The idea behind Weaving Hope was simple – fund new schools for Rwandan children with sales of beautiful, handcrafted baskets made by local artisans in the small Rwandan village of Muhanga. The proceeds went directly to building schools that will nourish the minds and bodies of children - weaving hope for their future.
This mission not only helps the children, it also provides opportunities for Rwandan women to earn a steady living and escape gender-based violence, inequality and discrimination. These authentic, handmade African baskets come directly from a women’s cooperative in the village of Muhanga. Your purchase helped them have a meaningful job to provide for their families, moving them from crisis and poverty to stability and economic self-sufficiency.
Exciting News! Construction of our second preschool and training center for East African college students is complete. It is located in the rural community of Kabuga, just outside of Kigali.
Be sure to visit our site regularly to check our goal completion status and our News section for updates and photos of the newest school.
