Cream and Black Miujiza Rug

DESCRIPTION: The Cream and Black Miujiza Rug is a testament to the skill and dedication of the Miujiza weavers. Hand-woven with care over the course of five days, each rug reflects the pride and joy of the women who create them. This intricate textile is more than just a mat—it’s a piece of art and a symbol of dignity. When you use this rug, you are truly standing on holy ground.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Vacuum the rug regularly without using the beater bar

ABOUT THE ARTISAN: Miujiza means “miracle” in Swahili, and miraculous is exactly what this artisan group is. Miujiza primarily supports the families of the teen moms at Rehema House who lack a stable source of income and are struggling to make ends meet. It equips and empowers them to achieve financial stability. In turn, they are able to provide for their basic needs and meet the needs of their daughters and grandchildren after reintegration into their homes.

IMPACT: Local Hope is an artisan group from Houston, Texas, comprised of vulnerable women, including refugees and survivors of human trafficking. The group receives support from Mercy House Global through skills training.
