Twa (Pygmy) Sewing Business – July 2017

A Small Investment will Kick-Start the Economy of an Entire Community

World Dance for Humanity is helping each of our 25 cooperatives establish a business that will provide a sustainable livelihood for the entire community. The idea and plans for the businesses come from the co-op leaders and membership. Our Rwandan Business Coordinator and Program Director are with them every step of the way to help them realize their vision. The plan is vetted, approved, and monitored by the WD4H Business Committee to ensure a high degree of transparency and accountability. We hold  Business Trainings in Rwanda to help the business leaders develop their finance and managerial skills.

It takes a small investment of $2,000-$4,000 to launch one of these businesses, which will change the lives of everyone in the community.
