Zera Flat Woven Wall Hanging

Azizi Life works with more than 760 artisans across about 60 cooperatives in rural Rwanda, each group specializing in traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Every piece is made by hand from local natural materials - sisal, forest grasses, banana leaf, and local wood - so small variations are part of the craft. Through fair-trade partnerships, the work provides steady income for artisan families and helps fund community programs like adult literacy.
