Rwandan-made clothing could get a boost following plans by a group of American bloggers to share Rwanda’s story and encourage the international community to buy ‘Made in Rwanda clothes’

A group of 11 bloggers from the United States will be in Rwanda from July 11-20 for this cause.

The tour is a partnership between Noonday Collection, a socially-conscious fashion brand, and International Justice Mission (IJM), a global human rights organization.

"We are on a mission to mobilize women in the USA to create an opportunity for the world`s most vulnerable by harnessing fashion and design,” explained Jessica Honegger, the founder of Noonday. She added that sharing Rwandan stories will help give a powerful voice to the sometimes voiceless.
