Fantastic experience on the walking tour! It was so great to learn more about Rwandan culture, some Kinyarwanda, and see the bustling and lively neighbourhood of Nyamarimbo in action! The Women's Centre has such a great story and it's so exciting to hear about all the ways they support local women. And the lunch at the end was phenomenal. The shop itself has beautiful, high quality, handcrafted goods. Great local tourism initiative. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my shopping experience. I was looking for a skirt and the women were very helpful while I was looking for the right size. I left with a beautiful decorative elephant and skirt! I highly recommend checking this store out while you’re in Kigali.

Contacting them was easy and fast. I booked the walking tour, which I enjoyed. Someone said in one review that "random places" have been shown but for me it also had the charm of getting to know the area and normal life. The shop had cute things and I bought a skirt. They are helpful, but I still felt the ladies in the shop to be a bit cold (Angel and Mary were great though). The lunch was amazing. I would do it again. I was done with tour and lunch at around 12.40 pm.

Our experience at Nyamirambo Women's Center was the highlight of our trip to Rwanda. This incredible center teaches women a number of different skills in order to make a living and support themselves. It also offers several tours/experiences and sells beautiful handmade goods. We signed up for the cooking class and a cultural tour of Kigali. The cooking class was an incredible experience. We were able to learn how to make several delicious vegetarian dishes by Aminatta, an incredible chef and woman who was part of the center. After enjoying the meal we took a tour with Jocelyn. She, friendly and knowledgable, and she shared her experience living in Kigali and working at the women's center. This is a must-visit if you are in Kigali. The shop has beautiful products - we bought a hand woven basket - and the tours are informative and very entertaining. Thank you!

This is a small shop selling quality hand-made crafts, made on-site. I went on a Saturday so the sewing machines were not manned. They also offer workshops there (pre book). The items are expensive for Rwanda, but the quality is high and the cause worthwhile. Get your Rwanda gift shopping done in one place on one visit. Yes! They accept credit cards
