A Day with Emelienne and Cocoki

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM EMELIENNE AND COCOKI TO YOU! Before partnering with INDEGO AFRICA in 2007, Emelienne Nyiramana and her colleagues at Cocoki - a sewing cooperative in Rwanda - made less than 25 cents a day carrying water. They now run a profitable, transparent, high-profile business selling contemporary accessories across the U.S., including w/ iconic fashion designer Nicole Miller. In July 2010, Emelienne was accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Initiative Entrepreneurship Program in Rwanda. INSPIRED? Invest at http://www.indegoafrica.org/donate
