As a result a lot of peoples’ lives have been improved considerably. In 2008, the ministry of labour of Rwanda named Gahaya Links s the “Best Job Creator on national level”
Unity and Reconciliation: Since weavers are of various backgrounds, Gahaya Links supplements government efforts to sensitize weavers on unity and reconciliation.
