Weavers of Hope – meet Christine

Weavers of Hope – meet Christine

The genocide of 1994, as a result of civil war between Hutu and Tutsi, left the country ravaged and over a million Rwandans lost their lives.

The women of Rwanda are striving for a better future for themselves and their children and weave their stories, hopes and aspirations into their baskets.

Christine is one of these ladies.

Christine is 43 years old and has 6 children and 9 grandchildren and does part time cleaning in the morning before going to the project in the afternoon.

Christine enjoys being part of the group as like the others she is a genocide orphan who lost their families in their war.

As a group they provide a sympathetic ear for each other and support each other with advice and help.
