What began as a family tradition slowly transformed into a purpose-driven mission.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Raised in a rural village with limited opportunities and strict values, He saw firsthand the struggles of young girls\u2014especially those who dropped out of school and became mothers at a young age. He knew that their challenges were not just personal but part of a much bigger story of lost potential and untapped talent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Determined to create change, Bosco began teaching weaving to young women in her community. What started as small gatherings with a few girls quickly grew into a movement that restored dignity, hope, and opportunity. From this vision, Intagara handcrafts ltd was born.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today, INTAGARA Handcrafts supports over 50 young single mothers, with a dream to expand into weaving centres across all 5 provinces and 30 districts of Rwanda, and ultimately across Africa. Through weaving, Intagara preserves culture, empowers women, and creates sustainable futures for families.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48e987ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"48e987ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49ac8c8e elementor-align-left elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-button\" data-id=\"49ac8c8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<div class=\"ekit-btn-wraper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/250783233032\" class=\"elementskit-btn  whitespace--normal\" id=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"ekit-svg-icon icon-phone-call1\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M30.785 25.435l-6.27-6.27c-0.748-0.748-1.966-0.748-2.715 0l-1.631 1.631c-0.511 0.511-0.672 1.24-0.486 1.89l-0.615 0.615c-0 0-0 0-0 0-0.437 0.437-3.158-0.234-6.447-3.523s-3.96-6.009-3.523-6.446c0-0 0-0 0-0l0.616-0.616c0.174 0.050 0.353 0.075 0.533 0.075 0.492 0 0.983-0.187 1.357-0.561l1.63-1.63c0.748-0.748 0.748-1.966 0-2.715l-6.27-6.27c-0.362-0.363-0.845-0.562-1.357-0.562s-0.995 0.2-1.357 0.562l-1.631 1.631c-0.511 0.511-0.672 1.24-0.486 1.89 0 0-0.522 0.527-0.547 0.56-1.735 1.928-2.060 4.964-0.91 8.593 1.126 3.554 3.554 7.318 6.835 10.6s7.046 5.709 10.6 6.835c1.427 0.452 2.763 0.676 3.976 0.676 1.988 0 3.646-0.603 4.834-1.791l0.342-0.342c0.171 0.049 0.35 0.076 0.533 0.076 0.513 0 0.995-0.2 1.357-0.562l1.631-1.631c0.748-0.748 0.748-1.966 0-2.715zM5.607 2.972l6.27 6.27-1.63 1.631c0 0-0-0-0.001-0.001l-6.27-6.27 1.631-1.631zM25.564 29.251c-0 0-0 0-0 0-1.381 1.381-3.822 1.609-6.873 0.642-3.266-1.035-6.754-3.295-9.822-6.363s-5.328-6.556-6.363-9.822c-0.967-3.051-0.739-5.492 0.642-6.873l0.173-0.173 4.866 4.866-0.446 0.446c-0 0-0.001 0.001-0.001 0.001-1.849 1.851 0.373 6.009 3.524 9.16 2.358 2.358 5.281 4.196 7.378 4.196 0.705 0 1.317-0.208 1.783-0.674 0-0 0-0 0-0l0.446-0.446 4.866 4.866-0.173 0.173zM27.797 28.423l-6.27-6.27 1.631-1.631 6.27 6.27c0 0-1.63 1.631-1.631 1.631zM24.301 8.099c-1.826-1.826-4.253-2.831-6.834-2.831-0.53 0-0.96 0.43-0.96 0.96s0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96c2.069-0 4.014 0.806 5.477 2.269s2.268 3.408 2.268 5.476c0 0.53 0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96s0.96-0.43 0.96-0.96c0-2.582-1.005-5.008-2.831-6.834zM27.743 4.657c-2.745-2.745-6.395-4.257-10.277-4.257-0.53 0-0.96 0.43-0.96 0.96s0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96c3.369-0 6.537 1.312 8.919 3.694s3.694 5.55 3.694 8.919c0 0.53 0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96s0.96-0.43 0.96-0.96c0-3.882-1.512-7.532-4.256-10.277zM20.859 11.541c-0.919-0.919-2.092-1.405-3.391-1.405 0 0-0 0-0 0-0.53 0-0.96 0.43-0.96 0.96s0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96c0 0 0 0 0 0 0.79 0 1.475 0.284 2.034 0.843 0.551 0.551 0.843 1.255 0.842 2.034-0 0.53 0.43 0.96 0.96 0.96h0c0.53 0 0.96-0.43 0.96-0.96 0-1.3-0.486-2.472-1.405-3.392z\"><\/path><\/svg>For More\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAVUGIMANA J.
