INDEGO AFRICA ARTISAN PARTNERS

Indego Africa currently partners with more than 250 remarkable women in five independent, for-profit artisan cooperatives in Rwanda: Cococki in Kicukiro (sewing & textiles), Covanya in Nyamata (weaving), Twiyubake in Kayonza (weaving), Abasangiye in Kayonza (sewing & textiles), and Ingenzi Knit Union in Kigali (knitwear). Before partnering with Indego Africa, 93% of the women earned less than 550 RwF (US$1.00) per day — typically by carrying water on an unreliable basis. Now, connected to the international craft export markets and engaged in sophisticated training programs, the women are brimming with confidence and hope for the future.
