The Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women.

Nicole owns Kaze Rwanda, a small cultural creative arts and crafts business. Kaze Rwanda’s mission is to “Make Rwanda Known”. Started in November 2006 as a sole proprietorship with 2 employees, has now expanded adding a third employee. Purchasing well hand-made products from women who are also genocide survivors adds a meaningful element to the day-to-day business. Primary customers are government and corporate clients purchasing gifts and interior design items.

Nicole hopes to organize the crafts people to better supply the sales industry.

Nicole’s secret is “Passion, Perseverance and Parnership”. She hopes to learn better management skills and be paired with a mentor to help her grow her business while socially impacting her country.
