Individual, family and community impact through fair wages is only one part of the Azizi Life vision. From the beginning, the dream of Azizi Life was to create a self-sustaining development model. The goal was to set up businesses that positively impact families and communities and are profitable enough to support larger community development projects that are essential in rural Rwandan communities but are well beyond the scope and ability of an artisan's income to provide.It was out of this dream that our Rwandan team founded a local non-profit called Ubuzima Bwiza Iwacu which means Good Life Here at Home. Each of our businesses gives support to the local non-profit and donates 20% of their profits each year. Ubuzima Bwiza Iwacu then uses this money, plus additional donations raised through our US non-profit, to work alongside artisans and their communities to provide large-scale community development projects.
