The Rwamwanja settlement was established in Uganda to host refugees from Rwanda in 1965. It now has a population of over 65,000 people. 

Rwenzori Sustainable Trade Center aims to work with women from the Rwamwanja settlement to provide opportunities for training in-group working, group participation, group management, financial skills, weaving, dye mixing, design skills, and producing quality products for local and international buyers.The project will ultimately create income earning opportunities for these refugee artisans through training and capacity building.
