It has been tooooo long since we last posted. Everything is still on pause right now thanks to the global pandemic and continued because of logistical problems. But we hope to be starting soon!
During my first trip to Rwanda in 2008, I was in a car with a Rwandan who was driving me around Kigali. I looked out and said to him, "Kigali reminds me so much of Jerusalem. The lights on the rolling hills are beautiful." I miss Kigali (left last year) & hope to return soon

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
These pictures show why @VirungaG has Nyiragongo in its profile picture. It is such a beautiful sight. But as @JewswithRwanda said, Nyiragongo is still a dangerous active volcano.
Mount Nyiragongo is gorgeous when at peace. But that beauty hides a horrible secret that any minute it can erupt just as it is doing now in Goma, DRC. These pictures were taken just a few miles away in Gisenyi, Rwanda. While it seems faraway, it truly isn't. Be safe everyone
Update: Our reporter on ground @sebuharara says magma is flowing towards #Rwanda -n side in the Eastern DRC city of Goma as citzens continue to flee into the country. #NyiragongoErupts @ktradiorw @kigalitoday
None of that is important right now. We just are sending our thoughts & prayers to those affected by this horrible situation. 2/2
I hope it doesn't flow towards Gisenyi (or anywhere else tbh). We have fostered great relationships with Gisenyi & Goma craftsman, weavers and tailors. Prior to #Covid, we planned to start selling locally produced clothing & crafts. That has been placed on hold. 1/2
There are some rumours stating that the lava has begun to flood towards Gisenyi, Rwanda. I hope they are wrong and more importantly, I hope the eruption ends soon and no lives lost.
Got to praise Rwanda's Rubavu government for helping Congolese refugees. Let the horrors in Goma end soon and everyone safe!
Rubavu, Rwanda has received more than 3,500 Congolese seeking refuge from the Nyiragongo volcanic eruption. The national contingency plan is in place to ensure safety and humanitarian services.
Horrible news of Mount Nyiragongo's eruption. Hope all in Goma, DRC are safe and that the eruption causes only minimal damage. Before suspending operations (b/c of covid) @VirungaG worked with Congolese traders in Gisenyi. We are reaching out to our contacts. Keep safe everyone!
To all the venders at Kimironko & Gisenyi market which I've engaged with in the past, I hope you are surviving Covid. Hope we can all return to before and help continue this start-up!
Remembering when I was told how my years in Rwanda was meaningless compared to someone who had just spent 2 weeks there. Spending 2 weeks doesnt make one an expert on how conducting research in Rwanda. It takes time to formulate relations & understand society for proper research.
How are people feeling with the upcoming holidays? If it hadn't been for #COVID19 putting a damper (to say the least) on our operations, we would have tried to promote Rwandan clothes for sale for this holiday season.

Beautiful fabric from the market in Kigali, Rwanda! What could you make with it?
Nothing quite as beautiful as Kigali.....
Good morning, raise your hand if you miss Iwacu Muzika Festival? 🙋🏾♂️
Cant wait to return to Rwanda & see Kitenge fabrics. There are so many unique clothing options. We rely on Rwandans for sewing and finalising as they really know how to handle this fabric and to help local businesses & entrepreneurs.
