Sifa (left) risked everything to save the life of Odette (right) during Rwanda's 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. So many people were already hidden in her home, when Odette arrived Sifa told her there was no more space. Odette turned away in tears, but Sifa called her back. "Come into my house," she said, "or your tears will condemn me forever." See all products featuring Sifa and Odette here.
The Ubumuntu Heart - a single heart formed by two people embracing, connected to the World - is inspired by Rwanda’s geometric design tradition. It reflects the concept of ‘Ubumuntu’: our shared humanity, actively expressed through empathy and care for other people. Explore jewelry featuring that design here.

“My experience can help them say, “Even if we suffered, someone from Rwanda suffered the same. So we can rebuild. We can overcome.”
