  1. WEAVING PEACE: THE BEAUTIFUL HISTORY OF RWANDA’S PEACE BASKETS

  2. INTRODUCTION In the heart of Africa lies a country known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and a history that is as remarkable as it is inspiring. Rwanda, often associated with its tragic past, has been weaving a different narrative through its age-old craft of basketry. At the intersection of tradition and transformation, the story of Rwanda’s Peace Baskets, also known as Bolga baskets, and woven bags, unfolds like a tapestry of resilience and hope.

  3. BOLGA BASKETS: THE ART OF STORYTELLING Bolga baskets, also known as Peace Baskets, are a specific type of woven basket that hails from the Bolgatanga region of Ghana but has found a home in Rwanda. These baskets tell a story that transcends borders and cultures. They are handwoven with meticulous precision, using colorful and natural materials. Each basket represents hours of labor, skill, and artistry

  4. BOLGA BASKETS AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT In Rwanda, Bolga baskets have become a source of empowerment for women. Many women in rural areas have turned to basket weaving as a means of economic self-sufficiency. Through the sale of Bolga baskets, women artisans in Rwanda are not only earning a sustainable income but are also gaining financial independence
