Product Description

The Imigongo are crafts of quality, unique in their kind, not only for their beauty but also for the social value they carry with them. By buying them, you contribute in a direct and concrete way to the development of the Rilima community in Rwanda.

The paintings are produced by women from the Abizeranye Co-operative that brings together a group of widows and family mothers who have started a farming activity thanks to the “One Cow” project of the Marcegaglia Foundation and who with this activity wish to support the needs of other families of the community of Rilima.
