Inside the Gahaya Links workshop on the outskirts of Kigali, Rwanda's capital, a group of women sit side by side against a brightly-painted wall.
Using natural fibers and grasses, they pool their weaving skills to create exquisite hand-made baskets, inspired by the eastern African country's art and tradition.
Janet Nkubana is the founder and president of Gahaya Links, a Rwandan handicrafts company that provides training, support and economic stability to local women.
