Project description

Regi was dissatisfied with the selection of Rwandan sportswear and therefore started making sportswear himself. So he founded his own fashion label "Misozi" - which means "hill" in English. The brand's philosophy is "Kootana", which means "strive". This is intended to encourage and motivate athletes in their activities.

Regi would like to produce sportswear for individual athletes and various sports teams in the future. Today, he is able to produce sportswear such as tracksuits, T-shirts, shorts, bags, jackets and leggings. He works with sewing machines and imports sustainable fabric. Regi is dynamic and able to understand the needs of customers and respond to them quickly.

Regi wants to offer more than just sportswear. His brand aims to motivate the people of Rwanda to have a healthy relationship with the planet and the communities in Rwanda. His goal is to become the leading sportswear brand in Rwanda and to connect the people of Rwanda emotionally.
