Same Sky provides employment opportunities to women artisans in Rwanda, all of whom survived the 1994 genocide. Profits from the sale of the bracelets, which start at $150 each, go to training and employing more artisans, allowing them to take the first steps out of poverty. The event will feature special guest Janet Nkubana, the Africa Prize 2008 Laureate, who spoke on what Same Sky means for women in Rwanda.
