Empowering Youth and Women Through Craft at Umurishyo supports and uplifts youth and women by providing hands-on craft experiences and real market opportunities. These initiatives help participants create, sell, and grow through traditional and creative crafts.
Umurishyo helps women market their creations, boosting visibility and sales while helping them attain greater economic independence. This aligns with broader empowerment goals seen in initiatives, which helps rural women artisans sell baskets and crafts internationally, enabling improved living conditions, investments in health, water, housing, and education.
