Imwe is a nonprofit brand founded through a collaboration between Mercer University students, MindLeaps, and Rwandan women who survived the 1994 genocide. The name "Imwe," meaning "one" in Kinyarwanda, reflects their mission of unity. Currently, Imwe works with Ubumwe Family Design, a team of six women—Alivera, Alice, Justine, Epephania, Eugenie, and Claudine—who create unique handmade bags. In 2021, these women united their individual tailoring businesses to achieve their shared dream of selling their products in the U.S. Each bag is one-of-a-kind due to Rwanda’s unpredictable fabric market, ensuring no two items are the same. All profits directly support these women, empowering them while offering customers distinctive products of high quality.
