About - Method

KEZA is a couture fashion label and business development firm. We develop African fashion businesses and work to elevate social responsibility standards of the international fashion industry.

We entered Rwanda in March of 2006 with the goal of developing businesses for women aspiring to break out of poverty and donor dependency. We bring designers from around the world to teach our African partners how to create high quality fashion goods. We provide them with quality control systems, assembly lines, and product manuals that enable them to consistently create avant-garde fashion. Through our experiences in Africa, we've created a template for developing thriving entrepreneurs, fully capable of running a successful and profitable business. Through the proliferation of their products, and progressive industry model, they play a significant role in rebranding Africa as a producer of fine couture fashion goods. Our partner's products are held in high regard because they are exclusive, quality and unique. Something beautiful and powerful happens when we create something others desire. It gives us purpose, importance and worth. KEZA provides our partners with a sustainable income, but equally as important, we create a path for them to experience DIGNITY.

"KEZA mean's "beautiful" in Kinyarwanda, the native tongue of Rwanda, where KEZA was born."

"Go to the people. Live among them. Learn from them. Love them. Start with what you know. Build on what they have: But of the best leaders, when their task is done, the people will remark we have done it ourselves." – Chinese Poem
