In August 2022, our family moved to Rwanda for a year. Jirka worked at the local eye clinic Rwanda Charity Eye Hospital run by Dr.Piet Noë. There are only a little over 20 eye doctors in Rwanda with 13 million people, so there was plenty of work. We also tried to get involved in other areas, more in the video. Thank you to all of you who have supported our projects in any way.
After several years of various activities in African countries, we decided to set up a foundation. We were particularly encouraged by the positive response to the idea of supporting the community in Northern Ghana through the sale of handmade bags and baskets made from Ghanaian elephant grass. At a time when plastic bags have already been banned in over 40 countries around the world, we think that Bolga products can be an interesting and eco-friendly alternative. As we have gained a lot of valuable experience and contacts during our years of work trips, we are also able to help effectively in other areas. We believe that through the foundation, supporting individual activities in African countries (not only the sale of Bolga products) will also be logistically easier and completely transparent.
