Weaving Baskets in Rwanda
In Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills”, weavers from many tribes, including the recently warring Hutus and Tutsis, create sisal bowl baskets as symbols of peace, reconciliation, self- reliance and hope.
The inside of the coils consists of native grasses. Sisal fiber is then finely stitched on the outside of the coil.

I purchased a basket for each of my adult children and their spouses. They were the highlight of our gift opening. The baskets were beautiful and unique. Ordering from you was a pleasure. Easy to use website and very prompt service. I think Baskets of Africa will be my go-to site for special gifts. Thanks for helping to make our holiday special. Diane
Lovely baskets, very sturdy and well done. Glad it contributes to the well-being of the makers. This is my third Ghana basket...they are wonderful and colorful and most hardy. Barbara
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
