We are very excited to have Habiba’s pens back in stock. They have only just arrived, and the new designs have not made it to the website yet! So, if you want first pick, email us! Big thanks to Lindsey Leggett for collecting them from Rwanda for us. She did a great job of co-ordinating our order!
There are some gorgeous new colours including pinks and purples, and Christmas red and green. What we are most pleased about is the fact that some of the pens finally came in packs of 10 of the same colour and design. You might not think it, but this is progress! Habiba and out Rwandan artisans have never used the internet and have no idea why it is important that we have several of the same design for making online sales. It seems that after a lot of hard work by several volunteers and translators, the idea is finally getting through! This is brilliant for Habiba, because with the online market, we can sell more of her pens much quicker, leading to bigger orders!
Habiba’s pens are available at £5.99. If we can sell just 10 pens a month, this is enough for Habiba to feed her family and run her little house. If you are interested in helping in this way, do email us on kigalicrafts@gmail.com. You can also call us on our new Kigali Crafts landline 01904 641255. Someone in the office will be happy to help!
