On this day, the idea "Only One Basket" was born. The campaign means that if we (Beauty of Rwanda) sold only one basket to you or each household, we would change the lives of the weavers in rural Rwanda. Only one basket. Single mothers would be able to support their children ~ put them in school, feed them, buy medicine (some are HIV/positive) and also be able to pay dowry for their sons when the time came for them to marry.
