IKIREZI STORY
Rising from ashes is possible; just like the story of Rwanda. At Ikirezi Natural Products we are well aware of that.
Established in Rwanda since 2005, we believe that the Rwandan fertile soil offers excellent opportunities to improve the livelihood of the genocide striken and empoverished communities and to heal and restore our land .
That is the reason why producing essential oils full of virtues sometimes unsuspected, Ikirezi helped curb poverty to more than 2000 vulnerable and poor rural farmers in Gahara Sector, Kirehe District in Rwanda’s Eastern Province.
