VIDEO: The women weavers from the Village Kiyombi, Rwanda, provided Lee Lysne and myself with a passionate welcome that I will never forget.
Today the lovely Willa Shalit, Founder of Fair Winds Trading, will make an appearance on the Martha Stewart Show. Her relentless efforts to connect the Rwandan women weavers of Gahaya Links with global partners is changing lives from all perspectives. Not only are the women receiving educational assistance on issues like financial sustainability, health, and personal hygiene, but Willa's injection of the entrepreneurial spirit has empowered village weavers to provide their families with a level of confidence and security they hadn't known before.
The footage you will see on Martha Stewart was shot during my journey to Rwanda with Willa this year.
To learn how you can participate in supporting the efforts of these amazing and talented weavers, tune in to Martha Stewart.
