The Rwanda Basket Company is a program of Rwanda Partners that is working to change the lives of impoverished weavers in Rwanda. Rwanda Partners is a nonprofit organization that is working to restore and heal the people of Rwanda through reconciliation and poverty reduction programs.
The vision for The Rwanda Basket Company was formed in 2004 when Greg and Tracy Stone (co-founders of the Rwanda Basket Company and Rwanda Partners) led a mission trip to this impoverished East African nation and encountered a poverty such as they had never seen before. As a result, the Stones committed to serving the people of Rwanda – forming a nonprofit organization called Rwanda Partners that works alongside the Rwandan people in the areas of poverty reduction and reconciliation.
